My D'Angelico is a jazz archtop guitar. That guitar was made for Glenn Miller's guitar player in 1939. It's a '39 D'Angelico New Yorker.

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.

If you would create something, you must be something.

Don't let doubt steal your dreams.

Bertrand Russell would not have wished to be called a saint of any description; but he was a great and good man.

Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that's been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.

I pay a lot of attention to how things are done and the whole activity of building something is interesting.

A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.

And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems, It would be easier sometimes to change the past.

I should have been happy: I wasn’t.

If you really want you people to innovate, buy a science fiction book, tear off the covers, and tell them it's history.

I see and approve better things, but follow worse.
