Radio is paid by advertising. They decide what songs to play that'll keep people listening. And that's what promoters and the Classic Rock people do.

Classic Rock radio gave us our longevity.

When people come to the show they think we are a legendary band because they hear us on Classic Rock radio all the time. It is psychological. That's okay - I'm down with that.

I didn't live in the world of disco or the world of the Eagles.

My grandfather used to say I don't care how you talk about me, good or bad, just don't leave me out of the conversation.

I was a big J. Geils fan, a Steppenwolf fan and a Savoy Brown fan.

Every time the guys were knocked out by my guitar playing and the girls were knocked out by the type of songs I did. That set us apart from the average blues band.

The other day I got invited to a party, but I stayed home instead. Just me and my pal Johnny Walker and his brothers Black and Red.

Rock and roll never sleeps. It just passes out.

All I have is my performance, I try to feed in the best of everything that I could possibly do into those 90 minutes and to make a live entertainment show out of it.

My parents taught me what life is about, so I grew up the type they warned me about.

My Ego taught me a new pride, I teach it to men: No longer to bury the head in the sand of heavenly things, but to carry it freely, an earthly head which creates meaning for the earth!

I know too well how slowly we edge along sideways to every thing good & brilliant in our lives & how casually and unobservedly we make all our most valued acquaintances.

Bravery is all well and good, but sometimes it's much better to be cautious.

Getting divorced didn't sour me on the institution of marriage. I'll tell you what I'll never do: I'll never get divorced again.

I came to the conclusion that I am free to choose my own suffering. But I am not free to consent to someone else's suffering.

I don't have a Kate Moss body, but I'm very proud and happy with mine.

I feel like we need to make new superheroes, African-American superheroes, that people would accept.

People are different when they're 30 than they are when they're 16.
