I would like to be remembered as a - somebody who could rock your soul or make your cry with a song. And somebody who's kind, who loved to laugh, and loved his God.

I have been going to the gym instead of the bar, trying to get back down to my fighting weight.

You couldnt get a job playing in a club unless you played so much Top 40 and so many Beatles songs. I just went into a sort of revolt.

The Beatles had just come out, and everybody had a band. It was incredible competition out there.

There's only one cook in the kitchen, only one chef. I let the soloists do their thing - you've gotta let a man do a solo the way he wants - but as far as picking the tunes and working on the arrangements, I take full responsibility for it.

There are as many ways to write songs as there are songs.

I got Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie and he also plays now with Hank Williams Jr.
