I'm a big Marty Robbins fan. I love Marty Robbins. Of course, everybody does. That's not such a big shock.

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.

In my experience, people who don't stick around during the hard times weren't worth having around anyway.

The only failure which lacks dignity is the failure to try.

I want to tell authentic, real stories with real characters.

And those who say, "I'll try anything once," often try nothing twice, three times, arriving late at the gate of dreams worth dying for.

You and I are created for transcendence, laughter, caring. God deliberately did not make the world perfect, for God is looking for you and me to be fellow workers with God.

Convention was our safeguard: could one have stronger?

We made 16 episodes of Cracker and I loved doing the show, but unfortunately no one was watching us.

There is no pure, disinterested, theory-free observation.

I sometimes have these spells of compulsive truth. But as Lady Macbeth would say, "The fit is momentary."

Life is short. You die before you think you're going to. Don't waste it in college unless you're doing something real. My view.
