Your life is what you remember. I mean, some things I wish I still had. But it doesn't matter.

I never take medication for pain. I want to know if the pain is getting better or worse.

If a man can tell if he's been successful in his life by having great friends, then I have been very successful.

You also get so wound up playing a show that a lot of people need something to bring them down. People who don't know how to handle the situation take drugs. I didn't. I went back to my room with milk and cookies.

Rock 'n' roll is meant to entertain. Hippie folk singers are supposed to be singing about leftist views, but I don't think rock 'n' roll was ever that way. I don't remember the early rock 'n' rollers ever expressing any political views.

My favorite artists have always been Elvis and The Beatles and they still are!

I never wore earplugs — that would have been cheating.
