I'm just a bleeping maniac in straight clothing. There's no reason to dress my monster up.

The last two years with the Eagles were pretty intense times. There was a lot of drinking and we were all getting high a lot. My parents were relieved when I got off the Eagles treadmill.

We set out to become a band for our time. But sometimes if you do a good-enough job, you become a band for all time.

Money was a much saner goal than adoration. They'll both drive you crazy but if I'm going to blow my brains out for five years, I want something to show for it.

It was 1967, and the hippie thing was happening. I got into experimenting with drugs while I was in college in Michigan.

I grew up in Detroit. So my mother always loved big band music.

I wanted to sing songs that my voice was comfortable with.
