My father had a couple of Mitch Miller records and a Spike Jones record, and that was it. My older brother had two or three Elvis Presley singles, and that was about it. The rest of it I did on my own.

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

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'm a [Bob] Dylan freak, like everybody else.

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!
