The '50s was a pretty wonderful time for people, it was hopeful.

I come from a small town and I come from a background where we didn't have money to travel. I thought I'd have to join the military to get to Europe. So I'm thrilled to travel.

I'm a natural ham. It doesn't bother me to perform.
Chris Isaak -
I think I've had the slowest, most methodical career in the business.

I didn't grow up in the typical happy American home, but music was always a safe and wonderful place for me to go.

When I play it I look out and see people hold on to each other and dance or just couples leaning into each other and kiss. And I'll go: 'You know, I could have worked hard at school and been a dentist. But I'm so glad I didn't.' Because when I look out and see that I feel like the Pied Piper of love.
Chris Isaak -
I don't think I've had a more miserable life than a lot of people. I think I've had a pretty lucky life.

I still don't know if I'm good enough or if it's a calling or a vocation or something, but the talent part is out. My desire to do it is undoubted. I just love doing this.
Chris Isaak -
If I would get an album out every eight months and if I would write songs that were more up-tempo and try to focus more on making singles, then I could probably get more attention. But I don't think the albums would be very fun to listen to, and it would be a drag for me.
Chris Isaak -
I blow up fireworks all the time, and I love making milkshakes and banana splits.
Chris Isaak -
I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?
Chris Isaak -
I put music on and I drive around town.
Chris Isaak -
When people ask me really stupid questions or get it really wrong, I feel embarrassed for them. I don't really feel angry at them.
