The last two years with the Eagles were pretty intense times. There was a lot of drinking and we were all getting high a lot. My parents were relieved when I got off the Eagles treadmill.

I won't apologize for ticket prices. I think we're well worth it. We consider ourselves in the elite touring acts, like the Stones, Elton John, Paul McCartney.

It was 1967, and the hippie thing was happening. I got into experimenting with drugs while I was in college in Michigan.

Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women.

That's what I miss out of all this synthesized music - it starts to lose dynamics.

I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.

Without a reunion, the Eagles are forever young, like James Dean.

It seems when I put together records, as Henley used to say, they're just like movies. They should have action, tension, love scenes, places to relax.

If you get a chance to be in a film, that's great. One of my goals is to make a record as good as Don Henley's album, Building the Perfect Beast.

Hey, I didn't make a big deal out of Hotel California. The 18 million people that bought it did.

I've read somewhere that when you're writing, you should stop while you're doing well so you always want to go back to work.

My songs grow on people - like warts.

I think it would be nice to sell 15 million albums as a solo artist. I'd have to deal with all the repercussions of that, but that wouldn't be too bad.

I'm just a bleeping maniac in straight clothing. There's no reason to dress my monster up.

I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know. Their charity record of the music business would hold up to the work of anybody.

Some people, they just don't get a joke.

I read the Life magazine articles about free love and free dope in California. At age 20 I drove to Los Angeles.

Somebody asked my friend Bob Seger, Why do you think the Eagles broke up? He said, Hotel California.

If the Eagles were to get back together, it would have to be for the right reasons. I think it would look awful if it were just for the money.

The last two years with the Eagles were pretty intense times. There was a lot of drinking and we were all getting high a lot. My parents were relieved when I got off the Eagles treadmill.

Hey, a woman changed her mind - what else is new?

There are only those certain people where things click - at least for me.

Nobody told Don Henley or me that we were going to make it as solo artists, but I can speak for Don when I say that we are both really happy now that the band is not together.

The world over, give a guy money and it goes to drinking, gambling, and women. When you give a woman money, it goes to feeding, clothing, helping people.

This is going to sound strange, but I really didn't think I would pass 30. I don't know why or whatever, I just didn't. That's a very weird thing to say, I'm sorry. I don't know. Maybe it's because I was drinking so much as a youth.

The beard is here because I got tired of shaving and Grissom, subsequently, got tired of shaving. Grissom, like any other 50-year-old man, is going through a series of mid-life changes. Who knows, he may start drinking.

I prepared for the part by drinking, but I was sober when I was performing.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually live longer; it just seems longer.

Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it.

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.

Men even contract the dirty, filthy habit of chewing tobacco, and when the habit gets a good hold upon them they are never satisfied except when they have a wad of the stuff in their mouth. So with drinking. It is largely a habit.

I'm talking like 10, 12 years old. Either junior brings Mom and Pop or Mom and Pop bring the kids. I'm talking young here, not a college drinking crowd.

My parents would read those books to me as well but they used to make me starving when I was a kid because they were always eating ham sandwiches with the crusts off and drinking ginger beer.

By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.

I admit I was drinking a Guinness... but I did not swallow.

I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.

I had a breakthrough, I think my life just became calmer, I gave up drinking. My priorities changed as I had a young daughter. The group didn't want me to record for the Think Tank album... so I took it as a sign to leave.

I love milk so much! I make a point of drinking a glass of milk every day. So now anyone who did those milk ads with the milk mustaches, they're my heroes.

Nowhere in this country should we have laws that permit drinking and driving or drinking in vehicles that are on American highways. This is not rocket science. We know how to prevent this, and 36 states do.

It's like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don't know where your going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It's like the throw of the dice.

The obvious issue is providing clean drinking water and sanitation to every single human being on earth at the cost of little more than one year of the Kyoto treaty.

When animators weren't sleeping, they were drinking.

It is a sign of a dull nature to occupy oneself deeply in matters that concern the body; for instance, to be over much occupied about exercise, about eating and drinking, about easing oneself, about sexual intercourse.

I had friends at school, but I was never part of a gang and I dreamed of that sense of belonging to a group. You know, where people would call me 'Em' and shout across the bar, 'Em, what are you drinking?' after the show.

My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation.

Then trust me there's nothing like drinking, So pleasant on this side of the grave: It keeps the unhappy from thinking, And makes e'en the valiant more brave.

I think it's important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating. I am 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
