If you don't start drinking, I'm gonna leave.
I really, really, really, really, really, really, really like girls.
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.
I know I'm not going to sing like Aretha Franklin or Elvis Presley or any of those people.
On the day I was born, the nurses gathered around, to gaze in wide wonder at the joy they had found.
Rock and roll never sleeps. It just passes out.
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.
You know when your mouth a-gettin' dry, you're plenty high
I'm more of a rhythmic player. My soloing is pretty much limited to playing slide guitar.
After the Ed Sullivan Show, Feb. 9, 1964, at approx. 8:04pm [laughs], after that moment every album, every guitar, evey set of drums that was ever sold ... 10% should have gone right into their pocket!
All I have is my performance, I try to feed in the best of everything that I could possibly do into those 90 minutes and to make a live entertainment show out of it.
Look at Gleason in The Honeymooners. He was humorous but the way he lived wasn't really humorous. He was a bus driver. Who wants to be a bus driver? He didn't have any money and he was not famous. But despite that, the show is humorous.
