It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.

Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" when he was coked out of his mind. Later on, it nearly killed him.

Every generation thinks they are stronger than the generation before it. They think, "It can't happen to me." In the past people have died making that same mistake.

They [The Beatles] were the first band to not have a lead singer in the band.

He [Randy Rhoads] was really a good guy. I never could get over how incredibly little he was.

All you got in life is your honor, man, your own self-image, your own self-respect. If you lose that, or if you give it away or if you sell it, then you ain't got it no more.

I hate heroin. It killed off a lot of my generation. It killed off a lot of my friends. Now this generation is getting killed off again. I can't believe it. How many dead bodies do we need to have piled up?
