My grandfather used to say I don't care how you talk about me, good or bad, just don't leave me out of the conversation.

I'm more of a rhythmic player. My soloing is pretty much limited to playing slide guitar.

Rock and roll never sleeps. It just passes out.

I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal. I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal.

I love Willy DeVille. He's very missed.

I saw the movie Sid & Nancy. It was a pretty good movie. It didn't really make me a punk rock fan. But anything that's new, as long as it's good I enjoy it.

After the Ed Sullivan Show, Feb. 9, 1964, at approx. 8:04pm [laughs], after that moment every album, every guitar, evey set of drums that was ever sold ... 10% should have gone right into their pocket!
