For me it's a simple sport and a simple way to live these seven or eight years of maximum sport.

Santa is our culture's only mythic figure truly believed in by a large percentage of the population. It's a fact that most of the true believers are under eight years old, and that's a pity.

I been getting good crowds. It only took 50 years.

I sang and wrote songs when I was 12 years old.

I'm playin' music for a certain type of person. Fortunately, there are more and more of us. At least there are more comin' to see me than there were 30 years ago or so.

I've heard some tunes in recent years that were pretty close to that same idea. The idea was you turn on the radio and you want to hear some music and up comes a commercial.

Pizza Express has been a real godsend for me. I've been working there for several years, six weeks a year. You can go to work every night and play. It's a nice little club. It's just about the right size for me, about 150 people.

I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedys down in Washington.

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.

No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent within college walls.
