I don't think there is a musician today that hasn't been affected by Elvis' music. His definitive years - 1954-57 - can only be described as rock's cornerstone. He was the original cool.

I put a metronome up to all the songs, and I tried to really keep it true to the original tempos.

With the Stray Cats at least, we really took the music somewhere else. First, we wrote our own songs. That's a real weak point in modern classics if you do rockabilly or blues.

It's not about how loud you turn the amp up. That's not what makes it sound big. What makes it sound big is fooling around with different delays and reverb settings.

I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten.

For every rockabilly festival staged here, there are 10 held overseas.

Mark Winchester has left the band. He's decided that he's tired of the road and just wants to concentrate on his career in Nashville. I don't blame him at all. He'll certainly be missed.

There's a fine line between pleasure and pain. Love me like a ball and chain.

The biggest challenge for me was Get Rhythm. I don't know why.

To me, rockabilly music paralleled punk's energy and feeling, but the players were much better.

Don’t just pray, but reach out in prayer to get an understanding of God’s plan, of His revelation and vision for your life.

Culture is one thing and varnish is another.

I always look at a girls shoes. And if they’re wearing heels, i wonder how she would look if she was just wearing those.
