I was named after the next-door neighbor's German shepherd. It was either that or Cadillac Smith.

I can get into politics. I'm a pretty straight guy for this business. I have a pretty healthy outlook.

My father always said, 'It ain't bragging if it's true.'

I'm very close to my parents and we built a sailboat together when I was growing up. We're partners.

We were a really crazy band. This was in '73. I had my hair real short with a white stripe down the middle of my head. The guitarists had pink hair. We weren't playing CBGB's either, we were playing Statesborough, Georgia, for cowboys on penny beer night. We used to keep crowbars onstage when fights would break out. Those were really wild times.

I was the only guy who is referred to as Mr. Smith in the New York Times and in the same week as Sexy Rexy in some teen magazine.
