Rock n' Roll came from the slaves singing gospel in the fields. Their lives were hell and they used music to lift out of it, to take them away. That's what rock n' roll should do - take you to a better place.

I never fit in. I am a true alternative. And I love being the outcast. That's my role in life, to be an outcast.

There's no explanation for success. Success just comes out of life.

Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole.

Just ask anybody who is getting old - everything starts hurting. For me, it's my shoulders, thumbs, knees and feet.

For the past 32 years, I've done nothing outside the entertainment business. I've had some real highs and some real lows, but I love the work so much that I never once thought of quitting.

You've been cold to me so long, I'm crying icicles instead of tears.
