As you get older the odds are against you that you are still going to be on the planet.

Classic Rock radio gave us our longevity.

When people come to the show they think we are a legendary band because they hear us on Classic Rock radio all the time. It is psychological. That's okay - I'm down with that.

I didn't live in the world of disco or the world of the Eagles.

My grandfather used to say I don't care how you talk about me, good or bad, just don't leave me out of the conversation.

I was a big J. Geils fan, a Steppenwolf fan and a Savoy Brown fan.

Every time the guys were knocked out by my guitar playing and the girls were knocked out by the type of songs I did. That set us apart from the average blues band.

The other day I got invited to a party, but I stayed home instead. Just me and my pal Johnny Walker and his brothers Black and Red.

Rock and roll never sleeps. It just passes out.

All I have is my performance, I try to feed in the best of everything that I could possibly do into those 90 minutes and to make a live entertainment show out of it.

My parents taught me what life is about, so I grew up the type they warned me about.

I pride myself in being a deep thinker, and I want you to be one too.

I know your breed; all your fine officials debauch the younger girls who are afraid to lose their jobs: that's as old as Washington.

I've succeeded beyond what I ever thought I could.

Donald O'Connor was in the film [ 'Singin' in the Rain' ] as well, and he was only 27 years old. So we were closer in age, and had more fun together on the set. Gene was more my teacher and mentor.

Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people-- people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.

I'm like old shoes. I've never been hip. I think the reason I'm still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.

The issue of poverty is not a statistical issue. It is a human issue.

Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.

I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die at 110, shot by a jealous husband.
