I hope the Canada Pops can play in E and A. I do 'Forty Days' and 'Bo Diddley'. I don't change songs, just bands.

A good band is like a team. You want to have the right balance. It's not always the best people you need, but the right ones for the job.

Rock 'n' roll was two pegs below being a prisoner of war back then.

If you think all men are created equal, you haven't seen Bo Diddley in the shower.

I was a Gordon Lightfoot fan before he ever had a song out. You just knew he was pure talent and he was going to be successful. Gordon has written and recorded some of the greatest music ever.

I dont know whos left to hear us. But if there are people who want the real thing, weve got it. My band rocks, and I plan to keep doing it till nobody shows up to see it anymore.

Wherever there are rock n rollers, well play. Thats what weve been doing for more than 30 years - rock n roll. Its made me everything from an honorary mayor to honorary member of a motorcycle gang.

I am a cross between Carl Perkins and Led Zeppelin.

I spent ninety percent of my money on wine, women and song and just wasted the other ten percent.

You have everything inside you, though you sometimes only recognise certain bits relating to the current stage of your path.

I'm a private person, and I don't want people knowing what kind of underwear I like. It's creepy!

It's not the imbalances of life that will get you down-it's doing meaningless things that aren't taking you where you want to go.

To be the best of all time, you have to do it over and over. I want to keep it up, and then the numbers will speak for themselves.

When my face is flushed with blood, it becomes red and obscene. It betrays at the same time, through morbid reflexes, a bloody erection and a demanding thirst for indecency and criminal debauchery.

Language is the mother of thought, not its handmaiden.

That the soft overcomes the hard, and the yielding overcomes the resistant, is a fact known by all, but practiced by few.

War is both the product of an earlier corruption, and a producer of new corruptions.

My wife and I have a tradition of popcorn and videos with our kids on Friday evenings.
