I sat down one night and wrote the line rock, rock, rock everybody.

See you later, alligator. After a while, crocodile.

Rock 'n' roll is just entertainment, and the kids who like to identify their youthful high spirits with a solid beat are thus possibly avoiding other pursuits that could be harmful to them.

The road can be hard on a kid if he's not careful.

The music is the main thing and it's just as easy to write acceptable words.

When the clock strikes 2, 3, and 4, if the band slows down we'll yell for more.

I am deeply honored by the trust the board has placed in me to lead Duke Energy. I have a high degree of confidence in the strength of our company's leadership and dedicated employees.

I don't know whether I am different from other people. Perhaps I am. Perhaps no one has a personality, and people are inventing themselves in the context in which they find themselves.

You're not supposed to totally know what's happening. The songs are supposed to give you clues so you can fill in the blanks.

It's a little weird exchanging pictures for money. You know what I mean. It makes me a little uncomfortable.

He who thinks all mankind is vile is a pessimist who mistakes his introspection for observation; he looks into his own heart and thinks he sees the world.
