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.

If the Eagles were to get back together, it would have to be for the right reasons. I think it would look awful if it were just for the money.

Somebody asked my friend Bob Seger, Why do you think the Eagles broke up? He said, Hotel California.

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

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

If we're so awful and we're so bad, you ought to check out the nightlife in Leningrad.

Hey, I didn't make a big deal out of Hotel California. The 18 million people that bought it did.
