I'm inspired by people who keep on rolling, no matter their age.

If it doesn't work out there will never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain.

Live a lie, and you will live to regret it; that's what livin' is to me.

And I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.

Places I've lived since then had to have some kind of uniqueness and character about them. And logically Key West, and then Down Island. So, all of that stuff sort of had it's roots in New Orleans and went crazy.

When the good times come around, they gallup in like wild horses. You just try to stay on them for as long as you can. And when they throw you offyou just wait in the shade until they come around again.

These old ballparks are like cathedrals in America. We don't have big old Gothic cathedrals like they do in Europe. But we got baseball parks.
