We have nine hungry Rottweilers on the farm.

I mean, Eighteen years old is the age of consent in Europe and you can go anywhere and do anything you like. In America, it is dumb. At eighteen you should be able to do anything that you like, except get married.

That was the producer who produced a couple of my solo albums. He produced my second, third and fourth solo albums. It was his project and I just joined him on it. I sang on one and played bass on another one.

We'll open for anyone, we are just looking to play.

I love playing for people.

I am writing a book and that takes third place of importance.

What I feel I am doing now is giving to the people exactly what they paid for but never actually heard before.

I don't wish my career on anyone.

This band makes sure that we have whole sections of stuff that are free form so that they don't know what we are doing next, that is the fun part of playing. You are playing something that you haven't ever played before.

I supply the music for Vampires, which is a new series that's coming out.

I have got an anthology album out. The American version has got the same mixes but the European version, I remixed them in the studio and added a couple of things that I have always wanted to add.

We were gradually playing larger venues and in the early days PA systems were kind of non-existent. So to play loud, we had to use louder equipment. The PA systems back then didn't mic the instruments - only the vocals.

I don't mind doing the Who tours when they come along but I want to get out there and play.

I ain't heard anyone play like I do in my band and I am very happy about that.

Man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.

I had no future with the Dodgers, because I was too closely identified with Branch Rickey. After the club was taken over by Walter O'Malley, you couldn't even mention Mr. Rickey's name in front of him. I considered Mr. Rickey the greatest human being I had ever known.

Well, I could do it for a day, but I wouldn't want to be a teenager again. I really wouldn't.

My fans, country radio, friends, family, you name it - they know I love to perform.

The problem with trading dominant players of that size is you never get in return what you've bargained away.

Allow adversity to be your teacher.
