I got married and basically forgot about Elvis. Then Speedway came. That was the most fun of all, to see him every day all those weeks.

I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in.

You keep lyin' when you ought to be truthin'.

The Columbia years are the most sentimental for me. My parents were together through most of that time and we were a happy, sort of normal family.

I wasn't accepted because I didn't accept the drug culture that most of my peers were involved in. Now it's like a locked room.

After 50, the rock 'n' roll road is a little absurd. It's very difficult to play these little places. You're out there on a rickety old bus with no place to shower.

Morrissey wrote to me and said, I have a song for you and if we release it as a single, you'll be on the charts for the first time since 1972, I said, what time, where?
