I'm for whatever gets you through the night.

Don't get even, get mad.

The martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth.

When lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday, cash me out.

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.

You gotta love livin', baby, 'cause dyin' is a pain in the ass.

Cock your hat - angles are attitudes.

I am a thing of beauty.

I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.

I'm for whatever gets you through the night.

I'm gonna live till I die.

May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.

I like intelligent women. When you go out, it shouldn't be a staring contest.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.

I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.

The best revenge is massive success.

Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.

Oh, I just wish someone would try to hurt you so I could kill them for you.

Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels.

I'm not one of those complicated, mixed-up cats. I'm not looking for the secret to life... I just go on from day to day, taking what comes.

Dare to wear the foolish clown face.

You treat a lady like a dame, and a dame like a lady.

Rock 'n Roll: The most brutal, ugly, desperate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear.

People often remark that I'm pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you've got to have talent and know how to use it.

Hell hath no fury like a hustler with a literary agent.

A man doesn't know what happiness is until he's married. By then, it's too late.

I believe that God knows what each of us wants and needs. It's not necessary for us to make it to church on Sunday to reach Him. You can find Him anyplace. And if that sounds heretical, my source is pretty good: Matthew, Five to Seven, The Sermon on the Mount.

I'm like Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in that I have a respect for life - in any form. I believe in nature, in the birds, the sea, the sky, in everything I can see or that there is real evidence for. If these things are what you mean by God, then I believe in God.

In Hoboken, when I was a kid, I lived in a plenty tough neighborhood.

Nothing anybody's said or written about me ever bothers me, except when it does.

Our civilization, such as it is, was shaped by religion, and the men who aspire to public office anyplace in the free world must make obeisance to God or risk immediate opprobrium.

There are things about organized religion which I resent. Christ is revered as the Prince of Peace, but more blood has been shed in His name than any other figure in history. You show me one step forward in the name of religion, and I'll show you a hundred retrogressions.

What I do with my life is of my own doing. I live it the best way I can. I've been criticized on many, many occasions, because of - acquaintances, and what have you.

A simple 'I love you' means more than money.

Fear is the enemy of logic.

The cigarettes you light one after another won't help you forget her.

Look down - look down that lonesome road Before you travel on

Alcohol may be mans worst enemy but the bible says love your enemy.

I feel bad for people who dont drink. When they wake up in the morning thats as good as theyre going to feel all day.

You buy a Ferrari when you want to be somebody. You buy a Lamborghini when you are somebody.

I feel sorry for people who dont drink. When they wake up in the morning Thats as good as theyre going to feel all day.

I feel sorry for people who dont drink. When they wake up in the morning thats as good as theyre going to feel all day.

Orange is the happiest color.

Don't hide your scars. They make you who you are.

Take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.

Las Vegas is the only place I know where money really talks--it says, Goodbye.

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.

To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
