My existence went up about 12 levels of intensity.

I think the acts today get too much money. I really do. They wind up blowing it all anyway. It's silly to give children that much money.

I figure the oldies are real close to what rocking country use to be.

We are put on this earth to have a good time. This makes other people feel good. And the cycle continues.

I never prayed for no money, and I never prayed for no fame. I said, 'I'll take care of that myself. You just keep me healthy and I'll do all I can to try to turn people around, to try to steer 'em in the right direction.' That's the whole trip in life, ya know.

Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something; let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks, and I'm an upper.
