I look at some of my contemporaries trying to emulate what they were 30 years ago and just because of the age factor alone, they look silly.

I went to New York in 1974, to either try to get a record deal, get into the New York Art Student League, or be a dancer. So that was my plan. Some plan. And I had no money.

Go to work and be a Hollywood stud, drive your four wheel drive right into the mud.

The greatest thing that ever happened to (my career) was the breakdown of the record companies, because there were no more stupid questions about how many hits are on the next record. It was very liberating.

Some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy, that I'm uneducated, that my opinion means nothing, but I know I'm a real good dancer.

I want you to dance naked, if you like, I'll join you.

Mama, why do I always fall for the crazy ones?
