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

Pure, white rock 'n' roll, with no blues influence.

The bigger the show, the better I'd play. It was what I was waiting for, and I'd never get nervous.

I don't need much more money, and I thought that when I retired that nobody would want to talk to me anymore. Then I did, and people still want to talk to me.

Some bands blow it before they even play. The most important moment of any show is when a band walks out with the red amp lights glowing, the flashlight that shows each performer the way to his spot on the stage. It's crucial not to blow it. It sets the tempo of the show; it affects everyone's perception of the band.

People were even too scared of me to tell me that people were scared of me.

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