I think we're just a garage band that got lucky. It's the enthusiasm from the audience that keeps it going.

I didn't think I could go onstage and play unless I had a beer to loosen up. Well, if it was only one beer to loosen up, I'd probably still be drinking today.

The Beatles did everything long before anyone else. They weren't afraid to try things and to experiment with a lot of sounds. In 200 years, when you look up 'rock and roll' in the dictionary, it'll have a picture of the Beatles next to it.

For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.

I know that some of the great painters and some of the great artists didn't even start to 'peak', as you say, till they were in their fifties and sixties. And God knows, history is full of artistic people that weren't even recognized till they were dead and gone.

I was very fascinated by the time when firearms went from being fire sticks to being something people could use to hunt and to survive.

I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.
