All my life I just wanted to be a beatnik. Meet all the heavies, get stoned, get laid, have a good time. That's all I ever wanted. Except I knew I had a good voice and I could always get a couple of beers off of it. All of a sudden someone threw me in this rock 'n' roll band. They threw these musicians at me, man, and the sound was coming from behind. The bass was charging me. And I decided then and there that that was it. I never wanted to do anything else. It was better than it had been with any man, you know. Maybe that's the trouble.

At some point, rock 'n' roll was mainly guys. So it makes sense that women would stand there and watch, kind of like a football game.

As I said to Ringo, I was in a successful Rock N Roll band. He was in a band that changed the world. That's the difference.

I thought of nothing else but rock 'n' roll; apart from sex and food and money--but that's all the same thing, really.

The reason kids like rock 'n roll is their parents don't.
