I'm just a man, no more or no less. Bad as the worst, good as the best.

I never have any problem getting enthusiastic with a good song and a good band.

I'm old and crazy, but I still give a damn. And I still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam.

Lately I've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame. Just because I've been idle, don't mean that I'm tame.

Was an American archetype, the bad guy with the big heart.

The only problem was I needed to use my own group, and things didn't happen until I did. It wasn't a real country sound, what I did. I've listened to it, and I think it was more a west coast rock thing, you know? But it fit. It was country, but it was my own interpretation of country.

I didn't aim at anything except good music.
