On the day I was born, the nurses gathered around, to gaze in wide wonder at the joy they had found.

There are now grandmothers and grandfathers coming to see us because they are of that age, they grew up in the '50s and '60s and they bring their sons and their daughters to hear the songs they heard when they were young.

Every morning just before breakfast I don't want no coffee or tea, just me and my good Buddy Wieser, that's all I ever need.

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

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

Anything that's new wave is new. As far as punk rock goes, I've never really been exposed to any.

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.
