I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row.

Now that I'm sober, I deserve to get laid.

I don't think anything is forever, but when my kids tell me they love me, that's forever.

The Beatles did everything long before anyone else. They weren't afraid to try things and to experiment with a lot of sounds. In 200 years, when you look up 'rock and roll' in the dictionary, it'll have a picture of the Beatles next to it.

I have seen more bad songs make it because of MTV than good ones that haven't.

A lot of people don't listen to the albums. They just listen to the singles.

I guess we all have a bad night now and then and really screw up. I listened to our earlier stuff and we screwed up a lot. But at least now that we are sober, when we screw up it's for real.

I know that some of the great painters and some of the great artists didn't even start to 'peak', as you say, till they were in their fifties and sixties. And God knows, history is full of artistic people that weren't even recognized till they were dead and gone.

I'm a Republican, but I'm a Republican from the old school. I was taught that you get what you put into it. You can be anything you want to be if you work hard enough at it, and you can earn your place. That's the old way.

I have a big ego, but I don't buy into it. I can't live off the ego. It's an honor that I get to be that guy onstage. It's not something I earned.

Once upon a time . . .” “In the beginning was . . .” That’s the way it always starts off. Every story, gospel, history, chronicle, myth, legend, folktale, or old wives’ tale blues riff begins with “Woke up this mornin’. . . .

I guess I am a feminist of sorts. I love women so much, and I celebrate the feminine in me because I appreciate it so much.

And when it comes to the music, the fans are the most important thing because they get you and put you where you are. And so often - too often - that whole idea gets cast aside.

Rock 'n' roll is sexuality personified.

I'm really into the love thing. When I relate to my guys in the band, I tell them where it's at, and if I feel like telling somebody that I love them, I do.

Schools, the first thing they cut is music programs. They don't realize how important music is to kids.

There are definitely things about 'Legendary Child' that echo the music we did earlier in our career. It's got the right stuff.

Berry's On Top is probably my favorite record of all time; it defines rock and roll. A lot of people have done Chuck Berry songs, but to get that feel is really hard. It's the rock and roll thing-the push-pull and the rhythm of it.

When I got sober and started working out, I fell into that trap of working out too much. I know a lot of guys can relate to that - if you don't get that runner's high every day, you feel like, 'Oh my God, I'm losing it.'

Problems and issues will always be there, and they'll never leave our side, so the object is to have a good time and make fun out of whatever we do.

You can always pound out demos and send them to record companies, but most of the successful bands I've seen are the ones that can sustain themselves.

My chosen instrument is guitar and, fortunately, I'm able to muddle through that. I can play guitar to the point where I can express myself artistically.
