There's nobody in the business strong enough to scare me.

I don't worry about new young bands. The bounty of life is infinite and so is music and so are opportunities.

If my edge is dull, my sword is dull, and I don't want to fight another guy whose sword is dull. If you've got two steel swords going back and forth hitting each other, what's gonna happen? Both of them are going to get sharper. Everybody that's in the industry has lost their edge.

There's nothing as glamorous to me as a record store.

There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that doesn't spoil the sky, or the rain or the land.

Every time I felt low, I just put on an Elvis record and I'd feel great, beautiful.
