I spent the last week of Ryan's life in Indiana, Indianapolis, with Jeanne and Andrea, Jeanne, his mother, Andrea, his sister, and some other beautiful people who came. And it taught me a lesson.
And there are men behind bars who pray for the light and there are men in the suburbs who pray for the night.
A couple of sounds that I really like are the sounds of a switchblade and a motor bike.
My old man is drunker than a barrel full of monkeys, but my old lady she don't care.
Tina Turner gave me the highway blues.
I don't whistle at you down the street. I would if I could, but I can't whistle you see.
I want a love that don't mean a thing.
The ugliest woman you'll ever meet, but she's mine and she's ugly.
It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine.
He [Ryan white] spoke to me that my life was out of order. My life was a mess. I had no values anymore. And he was so stoic with his infection. He wasn't bitter. He wasn't angry. He just was a kid. He wanted to go to school and play football, drive his car. And he had no bitterness about him.
I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.
The Backstreet Boys can sing their asses off. I'm not so sure about those other boy bands. But Backstreet Boys have my ultimate respect.
Blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band. Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man. Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand.
I'm not going to go into Russia and tell [Vladimir Putin] to go to hell and things like that. That's not the way things are done. You chip away at something, and you hope there will be dialogue and that the situation can get better. You don't just go in there with guns blazing and say, 'Well, to hell with you.' Because they're going to say, 'To hell with you, and get out of the country.'
