A little mordida, here. A little mordida, there.

We are put on this earth to have a good time. This makes other people feel good. And the cycle continues.

My fake Japanese was smooth enough to earn me the title of 'The Emperor of Pleasing Graciousness' in that country.

A little mordida, here. A little mordida, there.

Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something; let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks, and I'm an upper.

I started out as an opportunistic renegade. By now, I've lasted long enough to become sort of an American Original Respectable Renegade.

Bob Smith from Brooklyn is a guy who sometimes gets hung with problems and fears. Wolfman Jack is a happy-go-lucky guy who knows how to party. The challenge of my life has been letting more and more of Bob Smith go, becoming the Wolfman on an almost full-time basis, while still taking care of business.

From 1958 to 1964, that's real rock n' roll. Then the Beatles hit and everyone sounded like them.

I am just a little tired of the Stones and the Beatles, and I don't care if I ever hear 'Louie Louie' ever again.

I appreciate folks asking for my autograph.

I don't want people mistreating me. I found out when you're vulnerable and your heart's open, then people step on you. You're really stupid for letting that happen. And the only way to counteract that is to be like Wolfman Jack. Because if you do nice, kind things for people, then how are they going to mess you over?

I figure the oldies are real close to what rocking country use to be.

I know it sounds corny, man, but I like to bring folks joy, and I like to have a good time. I know folks like to be with somebody who's having a good time. You sure as hell don't want to be with somebody who's having a bad day.

I looked real Neanderthal. I could have been Mexican, I could have been black; I could have been anything.

I never prayed for no money, and I never prayed for no fame. I said, 'I'll take care of that myself. You just keep me healthy and I'll do all I can to try to turn people around, to try to steer 'em in the right direction.' That's the whole trip in life, ya know.

I taught myself to tune in to another person's wavelength, figure out what they were looking for, and try to project that thing back at them.

I want to go back to the format that radio started with rock n' roll, with country artists and rhythm and blues with that oldies type feeling. I want to put it all together and create a Top 40 of rhythm and blues and country and straight blues with Wolfman at the reins.

I'm not crazy about the rap thing. Or house music.

I'm very rich - in friends. I'm too nice a fellow. I give most of my money away.

I've got that nice raspy sound.

If you do right, everything will come out right.

It would take me three or four lifetimes to do everything I want. I'm a Brooklyn boy who learned to hustle, and I have to do something every day or I get the guilties.

Kids like classic rock, and so do adults.

Some people said my acting was a cross between Euell Gibbons, Rodney Allen Rippy and Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.

The one thing I've learned, getting out to all those foreign and domestic locales, is that people in every country of the 'civilized' world wish - either secretly or openly - that they had the expressiveness, the flair, the I'm-so-glad-to-be-me spirit that black folks have made a part of American life.

When I started at XCRF in 1960, Mexico was the most lenient country in the world when it came to radio.

We're a long way away from someone like Willie Pep winning a round without throwing a punch.

We all hope for breakthrough rebirth moments. When youre headed for a breakthrough moment its kind of scary because you say If I break through then I have to make great change in my life.

I've never been able to get it straight about what these people who are worried about the trade deficit are worried about.

You have to have a little soul in your singing. The kind of soul that's in the spirituals. That's why I'd like to include spiritual material in the sets I do. It's a part of my life.

I've always been a creative speller and never achieved good grades in school. I graduated from high school but didn't have the opportunity to attend college, so I did what young women my age did at the time - I married.

The Savior accomplished the Atonement, which resolves the most terrible burdens that can occur in this life.

Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others.

A meticulous virtual copy of the human brain would enable basic research on brain cells and circuits or computer-based drug trials.

I animated 20 years at Terry Toons. It's important to know that animators like pizza and a raise once in a while, and you've got to treat them with love.

A proverb is much matter distilled into few words.

Greed has increasingly become a virtue among Wall Street bankers and corporate CEOs in the U.S. Nowhere else in the world do CEOs insist on receiving compensation as high compared to what their employees earn.

But at the same time you can't assume that making a difference 20 years ago is going to allow you to sort of live on the laurels of those victories for the rest of your life.

I'm passionate again about writing. This is important to me; it's got to be the comeback book.

My mom came from such humble beginnings and especially my dad as well. He didn't go to university.

Nuclear energy, in terms of an overall safety record, is better than other energy.

The Internet has destroyed irony in the world, or at least wounded it considerably. What are we to do about an invention whose end result is that starving people in China are looking up things on marthastewart.com?

But even now, when people see me in the street, they point upwards to the sky.

The only way to save the world is through socialism, but a socialism that exists within a democracy; there's no dictatorship here.

Around the district, I've talked to more local bankers who are scared to death.

Most actors are socialists, aren't they?

Freedom is in the now.

I'm the luckiest broad on two feet, I'll tell you that. They say once a woman passes 40 she doesn't get any good parts, so I'm blessed.

My advice would be to follow your dream. Most of my life, I was in second place before I came in first place. I hope that inspired people to never give up.
