I didn't live in the world of disco or the world of the Eagles.
You can't rely on luck. I've had some stages in my career where I've said we're going to wing it, and we've always ended up in trouble.
There are now grandmothers and grandfathers coming to see us because they are of that age, they grew up in the '50s and '60s and they bring their sons and their daughters to hear the songs they heard when they were young.
I was a big J. Geils fan, a Steppenwolf fan and a Savoy Brown fan.
You know when your mouth a-gettin' dry, you're plenty high
There is no doubt in my mind who is number one - I have always been number one.
Not to this extent but from day one I had an awful lot of confidence when I got started.
Rock and roll never sleeps. It just passes out.
I drink alone. Yeah, with nobody else. You know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.
Whatever title you want to lay on me is fine. I am still working; you know what I'm saying?
My parents taught me what life is about, so I grew up the type they warned me about.
When I walk the streets, kings and queens step aside, every woman I meet, they all stay satisfied.
On the day I was born, the nurses gathered around, to gaze in wide wonder at the joy they had found.
I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal. I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal.
