I mean, what 16-year-old is going to listen to Doc Watson?

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.

Normally, you go into the recording studio, make a record and then take it on the road and you think... wow... I could have done THIS to it, or something.

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.

The key to success―keep swimming. Even when they tap you on the shoulder to say the pool has been drained, just keep swimming.

Rest, Recreated, Refreshed and Refuel!

Science fiction always has had strains of pessimism and optimism weaving through its historical development, sometimes one dominating and then the other, usually depending on the state of the world.

My thoughts and I were of another world.

Having an enviable career is one thing. Being a happy person is another

Those who seek power at any price detect a societal weakness, a fear that they can ride into office.

Once I saw Tamala Jones in person, I was like, 'I gotta put my lips on her!'

I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.

Real eyes, realize, real lies.
