I think we're a working man's band.
Gary Rossington Lynyrd Skynyrd -
We were kinda rebels. From the wrong side of the tracks. Down where we were raised, it was a tough town.

I was a Skynyrd fan all along. But I was also the brother of the lead singer who passed on. I just didn't want to do anything that would harm the band's name.
Johnny Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd -
You have to learn to live with the hard things in life and go on.
Gary Rossington Lynyrd Skynyrd -
Lynyrd Skynyrd has always been about writing songs and talking to people through them. That's what we do, and that's what we'll keep doing for as long as we can.
Johnny Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd -
As long as the fans keep wanting to hear new records from us every few years, we'll keep making them.
Gary Rossington Lynyrd Skynyrd -
If Marilyn Manson would write a song that says, 'Do your damn homework,' it would make the world a better place, and it wouldn't hurt him at all. And if he doesn't like it, to hell with him. He can come fight us - by the bicycle racks.
Gary Rossington Lynyrd Skynyrd -
Some of the country stuff in the past has been so polished - if you were a guy with a nice pair of jeans, a big belt buckle and nice hat, you were country.

I sound like an old bullfrog when I sing.
Gary Rossington Lynyrd Skynyrd -
Old-school rock bands, and blues bands, too, are kind of a dying breed.
Gary Rossington Lynyrd Skynyrd -
We didn't grow up rich people.
Johnny Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd -
Man, I love Limp Bizkit, Johnny Lange, many people.
Gary Rossington Lynyrd Skynyrd -
You have to be as original as possible. It's a tough thing to come up with something totally original.
Rickey Medlocke Lynyrd Skynyrd -
If you can write a song that makes people have emotions and show their feelings, that's a powerful thing and a beautiful thing.

I didn't know if Skynyrd fans were going to throw rocks at me or eggs or what.
Johnny Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd -
I was a Skynyrd fan before I was approached to be a part of Skynyrd, and they always ended it with 'Free Bird,' so I've been watching it since I was a kid.
Johnny Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd -
Here's the deal: You can't go in with the intent that, 'All right, we're gonna write another 'Free Bird' or 'What's Your Name.'' You can't think about it in those terms, because you'll never outdo your history.
Rickey Medlocke Lynyrd Skynyrd -
Everybody's got a right to their own opinion, you know?
Gary Rossington Lynyrd Skynyrd -
The fans have always been there for us, and they've realized when we were going through a hard time.
Johnny Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd -
I've got two lives. Weekends, I go out and play rock star. Weekdays, I play granddad. You can't beat that.

I'm very proud to be from Jacksonville.
Johnny Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd -
I think what the public knows as 'Southern rock' will never be repeated.
Rickey Medlocke Lynyrd Skynyrd -
We have to make a living, sure, but it's about the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd and what it stands for, what the fans are all about.
Johnny Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd -
It's exciting and refreshing to listen to new rock. And I like a lot of it - Filter, Vertical Horizon, Stabbing Westward... I even enjoy some Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock.
