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'm very much a gentleman in what I do.

I saw Uncle John with Long Tall Sally, he saw Aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley.

When you sit down and think about what rock 'n' roll music really is, then you have to change that question. Played up-tempo, you call it rock 'n' roll; at a regular tempo, you call it rhythm and blues.

And I'd like to give my love to everybody, and let them know that the grass may look greener on the other side, but believe me, it's just as hard to cut.

God gives us the ability, but rock 'n' roll was created by men.

To me, true rock 'n' roll has a lot of bottom in it.
