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.

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.

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.

Veteran performers are dying off, and new acts simply aren't emerging on the national scene.

Pursuing a dream without God’s approval is as dangerous as walking on a rope bridge over a big gutter? Guess the end….!

Nothing goes perfectly for us. But... being incomplete is what pushes us onward to the next something... If we were even perfectly satisfied, what meaning would the rest of our lives hold, right?

I realize that I'm a mature woman and one of these days, incredible diet or not, I'll be a little old lady.

Trust me, high school ends. You graduate and get away from all the people you never want to see again-it's all good.

Culture relates to objects and is a phenomenon of the world; entertainment relates to people and is a phenomenon of life.

I love having that creative discussion where, at the end of the day, you both feel better for having done it. Maybe it's a typically Jewish thing, where you sort of go at each other.

It is often hard to bear the tears that we ourselves have caused.

Liberty, like health, appears most precious when lost.

Few enterprises of great labor or hazard would be undertaken if we had not the power of magnifying the advantages we expect from them.

Well, I know now. I know a little more how much a simple thing like a snowfall can mean to a person
