Honesty is something you can't wear out.

Finally, my manager negotiated a deal where I got to produce my own records.

When I look at you girl, I see a true work of art. So many beautiful things coming in one little heart.

Now, I don't know how they judge all that, but if anybody in the world deserves to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Ritchie Valens does.

It was all devastating. I'd never dealt with losing anyone close to me, and I didn't know where to put it in my life. I was very young then. Buddy taught me so much in such a short time.

I didn't aim at anything except good music.

This world that I live in is empty and cold/the loneliness cuts me and tortures my soul.
