In my line of business, there's no better feeling than having a real nice work that you're really satisfied with.

Clapton asked my brother to play on his record. I thought that was the most wonderful thing in the world.

I didn't think we would ever make enough money to pay rent by playing music.

45 years is a long time to do anything, let alone for a rock band to play together. I'm proud of what we've accomplished and proud that we've kept the high standards.

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

I was talking to Jackson Browne on the phone. He said, 'I'm the slowest writer in the world.' I said, 'No, no, no. You're the second slowest. It seems the older you get the slower they come. I wonder if it is like that for everybody?' He said, 'It ain't with Don Henley. He seems to be writing more than ever.'"

Rock 'n roll was born in the South, man. It's like saying rock-rock.
