Hey, I didn't make a big deal out of Hotel California. The 18 million people that bought it did.
I've read somewhere that when you're writing, you should stop while you're doing well so you always want to go back to work.
Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women.
I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.
My songs grow on people - like warts.
I'm just a bleeping maniac in straight clothing. There's no reason to dress my monster up.
I won't apologize for ticket prices. I think we're well worth it. We consider ourselves in the elite touring acts, like the Stones, Elton John, Paul McCartney.
I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know. Their charity record of the music business would hold up to the work of anybody.
I read the Life magazine articles about free love and free dope in California. At age 20 I drove to Los Angeles.
Hey, a woman changed her mind - what else is new?
If the Eagles were to get back together, it would have to be for the right reasons. I think it would look awful if it were just for the money.
I think it would be nice to sell 15 million albums as a solo artist. I'd have to deal with all the repercussions of that, but that wouldn't be too bad.
It was 1967, and the hippie thing was happening. I got into experimenting with drugs while I was in college in Michigan.
Nobody told Don Henley or me that we were going to make it as solo artists, but I can speak for Don when I say that we are both really happy now that the band is not together.
Some people, they just don't get a joke.
