The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn't know what all the yelling was about. I didn't realize that my body was moving. It's a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said, "What'd I do? What'd I do?" And he said, "Whatever it is, go back and do it again."

'Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away.'

I'm never going to sing another song I don't believe in. I'm never going to make another picture I don't believe in.

The image is one thing and the human being is another...it's very hard to live up to an image.

'To judge a man by his weakest link or deed is like judging the power of the ocean by one wave.'

In this day and time you can't even get sick; you are strung-out! Well by God, I'll tell you something, friend: I have never been strung-out in my life, except on music!
