My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.
The cutthroat avenues of rock 'n' roll, I am fed up with. I don't want anything to do with it.
There's an edge to real rock 'n' roll. It's all that matters.
I think in some ways - only in some ways - but in some ways, rock and roll has let me down. It really doesn't leave you a way to grow old gracefully and continue to work.
Rock and roll is here to stay.
You were born to rock, you'll never be an opera star.
Remember when you used to watch TV in the Sixties and you'd see Perry Como in a cashmere sweater? That's what rock 'n' roll is becoming. It's your parents' music.
Hey, hey, my, my, rock and roll will never die.
