I didn’t have a clue what love was about until I met Sharon.

As a musician, I've accomplished what I hoped to accomplish.

There is no fear before and no fear after. We give our best.

I mean, Janet Jackson? She's like Michael Jackson with hair.

We always sold 4 or 5 million records no matter what we did.

I'm still amazed people remembered and didn't give up on me.

I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.

Give me a glazed doughnut, and a bottle of anything... to go!

The first two My Morning Jacket records were basically demos.

I was doing space girl outfits way before Katy Perry or Gaga!

As improvisers, we're acting as composers in front of people.

I don't want to be a hero, I don't want to ever let you down.

Evil thoughts and evil doing, cold, alone, you hang in ruins.

I like to use the audience as my color palette, my instrument.

I doubt myself a lot. And I'm very, very just overly critical.

The Breakfast of Champions isn't cereal, it's the competition!

Many people know how to criticize, but few know how to praise.

No one in the world can beat Ella Fitzgerald as a riff singer.

We were the first generation of rock & roll, but life goes on.

Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.

People who understand Doom don't blink an eye at song lengths.

I used to fantasize that Paul McCartney would marry my sister.

You can't break the rules until you know how to play the game.

I'm still raising kids myself, so I don't feel like a grandpa.

I was loud and electric at night, got all shook up with Elvis.

If you're conscious you must be depressed, or at least cynical.

Improvisation is the courage to move from one note to the next.

I only wish Chet Atkins could be here for this joyous occasion.

But when I cut off my hair I even had friends not recognize me.

I didn't live in the world of disco or the world of the Eagles.

I just live my own life, and I don't read any of the magazines.

The future is finally something that we can now put into focus.

I'm into rock'n'roll because rock'n'roll, to me, means freedom.

I've got many, many demons that affect me on many, many levels.

What's the future of mankind? How do I know, I got left behind.

[S]ince there is no wrong or right, you just reap what you sow.

I think we are dying in America, I think our democracy is over.

I just swung for the fence. That's my whole philosophy in life.

I want to write a book of poetry, as well as children's stories.

Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.

Let's play with the career, if we can't find anything else to do

There is a great supply of amateur undertakers in show business.

We have been called old rockers, rock pensioners, and dinosaurs.

My mother was an amateur singer, my father was an amateur drunk.

He loved her, free parts and labor. But she broke down and died.

Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer

We put our music together, piece by piece, like a jigsaw puzzle.

As you grow older, you learn to understand life a little better.

Once you’ve actually died on stage… I mean, how do you top that?

A lot of artists write about the same things their whole career.
