“Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair. The night’s busted open. These two lanes will take us anywhere.”

Two hearts are better than one.

I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.

If they had told me I was the janitor and would have to mop up and clean the toilets after the show in order to play, I probably would have done it.

There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.

You can’t shut off the risk and the pain without losing the love that remains.

It was like Elvis came along and whispered some dream in everybody’s ear.

Everybody’s got a hungry heart.

The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.

You get used to anything, sooner or later it just becomes your life.

You’re born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else’s past.

You can’t start a fire without a spark.

Elvis Presley is all there is. There just ain’t no more. Everything starts and ends with Elvis. He wrote the book. He is everything to do and not to do in the music business.

I’ve had an experience through music that has touched almost every part of me. It educated me in ways that I didn’t get educated in school. So we try to lay on a bit of that, through being funny, being serious, playing hard.

The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.

It ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive.

I just like to shake things up, and your hair is one way to do it.

People keep asking me if I am having more fun, being blonde, but I always have fun! Whether I’m blonde, redhead, or brunette! I always have fun.

I’m never happy with my face, my hair, I haven’t really got any boobs and I’m not really that tall.

When I was a kid, I’d spray paint my hair, cut clothes up.

Freaks, they are very prejudiced. You have to have your hair long and talk in a certain way in order to be with them. In order to be the other way you have to have your hair short and wear ties.

You can beat me up, but don’t touch my hair, I will kill you!

The right hairstyle can make a plain woman beautiful and a beautiful woman unforgettable.

If beauty is truth, why don’t women go to the library to have their hair done?
