"I never met Johnny Rotten, but I like what he did to people."

"Remember when you used to watch TV in the sixties and you'd see Perry Como in a cashmere sweater? That's what rock & roll is becoming. It's your parents' music."
"I'll never be Bob Dylan. He's the master. If I'd like to be anyone, it's him. And he's a great writer, true to his music and done what he feels is the right thing to do for years and years and years."
"I never forgot, that every time a new Beatles or Dylan album came out, you knew they were way beyond it. They were always doing something else, always moving down the line."
"I just do what I do. I like to make music."
