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

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

You got to be pretty thin to be in the movies, or it helps. I would actually love to do it.

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

One of these days I will be an old man in a rocking chair on a porch. Wouldn't it be nice to have my whole life there to read and kind of re-live it.

I got tired of playing other people's songs.

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