I love to rock 'n roll. But my finest suit, of all the things I do, is as a songwriter.
When I die, sprinkle my ashes over the 80's.
Jazz, isn't that just a series of mistakes diguised as musical composition?
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Rock 'n roll was born in the South. It's like saying rock-rock.
Pure, white rock 'n' roll, with no blues influence.
The only art I'll ever study is stuff I can steal from.
I've got rock 'n' roll in my blood.
Rock 'n' roll has to be destroyed and rebuilt in my name if it's ever gonna accomplish anything.

When you get into rock 'n' roll myths, like that Rod Stewart blew his whole band and had to get his stomach pumped, it's ridiculous, but everyone's heard it.
My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.
Im more in love with Rock n Roll today than other things. It grows, you know?

Rock 'n' roll is just entertainment, and the kids who like to identify their youthful high spirits with a solid beat are thus possibly avoiding other pursuits that could be harmful to them.
Anyone who tells you they got into rock'n'roll for reasons other than girls, fame and money is full of s***.
I hope I die before I get old.
