The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is marketing. You've got a bunch of faceless people in a back room who trademark a name that sounds very official. Well, if you had thought of it first, you would have been the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The great thing about rock-n-roll is you realize the top of the mountain is big enough for more than one band.

When you're in a position to have gotten so much, the gift at this point is giving back.

You're at your best when you don't know what you're doing.

If we're lucky we realize that life is really about family - your children, your family and your friends. Without that, the rest is hollow.

I'm damn successful but I got here by not taking crap. I still don't take crap, so if anybody needs a champion, let it be me.

I was a chubby boy. My pants used to wear out in the middle, and it was because my legs used to rub together. I wasn't obese, just chunky.
