Pain I keep to myself; my music is for entertainment purposes and I always have that in mind.

Whatever title you want to lay on me is fine. I am still working; you know what I'm saying?

There is no doubt in my mind who is number one - I have always been number one.

I love Willy DeVille. He's very missed.

How would you define [Bob] Dylan? You can't. That's a true artist. How about Ray Charles? Can you classify Ray Charles? No, you can't. He's just great, period.

I hate categories. Hank Williams is a great artist, period. Bob Dylan is a great artist, so is Marty Robbins. They just classify these people and put them in categories so they can sell the thing easier.

Radio is paid by advertising. They decide what songs to play that'll keep people listening. And that's what promoters and the Classic Rock people do.
