My songs grow on people - like warts.

People don't run out of dreams - people just run out of time.

We set out to become a band for our time. But sometimes if you do a good-enough job, you become a band for all time.

Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women.

Our lives are changing, this old world keeps turning. And I sit here and wonder, baby, what we're really learning.

Hey, I didn't make a big deal out of Hotel California. The 18 million people that bought it did.

For me, what's wonderful for me at this stage of my life is that I get to work with people I've admired for a long time.

Where does one not find that bland degeneration which beer produces in the spirit!

There’s a few conspiracy theories that I believe in, but not too many.

Well, I'm a former FBI agent.
