My true belief about Rock 'n' Roll--and there have been a lot of phrases attributed to me over the years--is this: I believe this kind of music is demonic. ... A lot of the beats in music today are taken from voodoo, from the voodoo drums. If you study music in rhythms, like I have, you'll see that is true. I believe that kind of music is driving people from Christ. It is contagious

I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.

Greed has taken the whole universe, and nobody is worried about their soul.

Rock 'n' roll doesn't glorify God. You can't drink out of God's cup and the devil's cup at the same time. I was one of the pioneers of that music, one of the builders. I know what the blocks are made of because I built them.

I also think that what's wrong with all of us is that we don't show enough love toward each other.

I got fame and fortune, and I lost my sense of reasoning.

I tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
