Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears all the rappers, they're doing my dances and they're making billions doing my dances. When they do that little thing they do with their hands that's The Fly and The Pony.

Dancing, apart to music with a beat, is my legacy.

I'm just grateful to be on this planet. I have no enemies that I know of. I'm just the guy who makes happy.

My outlet is my music, and it's been this way since I was 4 years old.

What turns me on is to walk into a sold-out venue. The audiences are so much the same as they were in the '60s. It's just an amazing thing. I can't explain it, but I hope it never stops.

It takes a real soldier to stay in the music industry and live off the things that have been put before me and be able to survive all this time because it has not been easy.

I want my flowers while I'm alive.

God's got something for me. I have faith it'll be OK.

Do you realize that I have had five albums in the Top 30. Elvis and The Beatles have never done that. I had five singles in the Top 5, I mean, no one's ever done that.

When I'm onstage they know I'm honest, and I try to be as humble as I can.

Before I got in this business I was in the chicken business.

Everybody in the '80s, well, we hate rap. Now, the biggest rapper in the world... Eminem. Rap's a black thing.

Besides, at 62 years old I look like I'm about 27.

I compare the Twist to the electric light, The Twist is me, and I'm it. I'm the electric light.

I want people to look at a checkerboard and think of me!

Homey don't quit. What else are you gonna do? It's like those guys in the cartoon they get up in the morning, check the clock and fight all day and after it's over they check the clock and go home. That's how it goes.

Ever see a little kid walking around talking to himself? I'm the same way.

Be able to delegate, because there are some things that you just can't do by yourself.

Genius is always more suggestive than expressive.

'30 Rock' is probably one of my favorite shows. It's just joke after joke after joke.

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.

Radio is more powerful the closer we mimic the way we actually speak to each other. That's why Howard Stern is such a great radio talent. People on his show are actually speaking to each other. You might not like what they're saying, but they're real conversations.

Life is itself an occupational hazard. Sometimes the things we love hurt us. Embracing and navigating around that contradiction is part of what it is to be alive.

I think my sound is post-Internet.

I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

I paint landscapes, figuratives. I painted all my life. In fact, I started as a commercial artist.

I am often criticized, or at least questions are raised, about what appears to be the absence of the Holy Spirit in my work.

Defence must be more adaptable, able to respond quickly to the changes in the security environment and the character of conflict.

I played lots of fantasy games. I would create these worlds, and I would believe in them.

I was at Stanford University up in the West Coast Bay Area, so the biggest song of my freshman year was 'I Got 5 on It' by Luniz, and the 'I Got 5 on It' remix was the joint that everybody was jamming constantly. And then it was also at that particular time that I became a fan of the Wu-Tang Clan.

My three addictions of choice are food, love and work.

People always get confused. They talk about coaches. The reality is, these coaches and managers that everybody thinks are in so much control, they work for us. They're our employees.

I think my mistakes were kind of common - leaning on cliches and adjectives in the place of clear, vivid writing. But at least I knew how to spell, which seems to be a rarity these days.

Sometimes you have to destroy your business in order to save it.

I'm someone who likes to keep busy, especially with projects that I find meaningful and fulfilling.
