I mean, as long as it doesn't have a bra attached, guys can take a risk and wear stylish things that went out of style 30 years ago. As things go around, they come around.

Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that's dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that's what happened.

Nothing is ever a barometer. Nothing is ever for sure except that this band has been around forever.

I like to come up with the melodies, and I have a lot of ideas as far as structure goes.

Fake it until you make it.

It was very difficult for me to be the only lyricist in the band.

I had gotten one of the first Korg synthesizers with 300 presets.

We need to go back to the way it was 30 years ago, when everybody had Grandma and Grandpa, and we were willing to pass moral judgments about right and wrong.

Back then it was nothing like today. So you'd go to the bowling alley. We bowled and you could be in the back and you could make out, you know? And you know how hot it was to make out.

I mean, as long as it doesn't have a bra attached, guys can take a risk and wear stylish things that went out of style 30 years ago. As things go around, they come around.

I don't mind being a grandfather; I've been a mother for so many years. You just can't believe what it's like being a father. Especially when you come out of the chaos of the road to getting married and having children.

We may need to change the way we think. As in Israel, I think there should be a mandatory draft, where you go away for the service of your country for three years.

But you've reached them, and I've always wanted to reach people. I'm the first one to say I love my fans because they love that I took a chance.

Life's a journey, not a destination.

I've got scarves and boots from' 1970 that I still wear.

When that second airplane hit the building, we all changed. We need to get back to some serious thinking.

I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.

I quit my band in New York City in 1969 and I got really angry at them. I got angry at one of my guitar players and I dove over the drum set and we got into a fight.

If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.

And the things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who were there first.

As you know, I'm androgynous. I can wear a jacket that most guys wouldn't put on. But you make it in guys' sizes, and suddenly they're wearing them. I think styles should get back to getting people to wear things that look so good that they don't care.

As good as I am, I'm nothing without my band.

Now I'm way into suits that I can put on whether I took a shower or not, and wear barefoot and paint my toes black or whatever color the suit is. It's very cool to wear suits like that. Roll up the sleeves and just say yee-haw.

My wife and I had decided not to let anybody take pictures of our home because it was just the last place on earth we had that was unscathed. But people have climbed over the fence; they've taken aerial shots. They've gotten my address and put it on the Internet.

The band's never taken a year off. Last August we decided to take one, and three months in I was bored to tears.

Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.

If you take all that I've learned from Joe and all that Joe has learned from me, and you throw all that into a song, not only are you using the gifts that God gave you, but also all the experiences you've had.

I'm not sure about the selling part, but I've always found that the things I've worn on tour have moved over to what people wear every day. Sometimes the things I wore in the beginning before I had money were things I put together.

I'm really just a country boy.

I have to get inspired by something that touches my soul, or rocks my soul.

Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new.

Great melody over great riffs is, to me, the secret of it all.

Guitar players never listen to lead singers.

I don't think anything is forever, but when my kids tell me they love me, that's forever.

I grew up with the smell of the lake and the feeling of the woods.

I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row.

Maybe life is random, but I doubt it.

Music expresses what cannot be put into words I like to think, and I think the band makes a good go at it.

The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.

Why not share with the world the way it is and tell them my feelings about my cat, and how I played with my kids, and how addicted to Christmas time I am, and the smell of pine needles and hearing my kids laugh.

I got in trouble my whole life for having a big mouth.

Its amazing in the blink of an eye you finally see the light.

Love may be the best driving wheel but anger is a pretty good second.

Every life has a measure of sorrow and sometimes that is what awakens us.

Ya think that the whiskey tastes good? Try a big cup of sobriety - now that is the good stuff!

Roosevelt's magic lay in one facet of his personality: He knew how to take the risk. No other man in public life I knew could so readily take the challenge of the new.

I do think that our freedoms are at risk.

Many a man is praised for his reserve and so-called shyness when he is simply too proud to risk making a fool of himself.
