“I recorded what I thought the public would buy.”

“Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.”

“Singing is the most natural thing in the world.”

“We never did anything that we thought was bad.”

“It's not what you are, it's what you don't become that hurts.”

“I always felt that the greatness of a song was in the lyric.”

“There are two new sounds in this world. The sound of an A-bomb and the sound of a rock and roll band.”

“They call it rock 'n' roll. I call it musical baby food. It's the most brutal, ugly, degenerate, vicious form of expression it has been my displeasure to hear.”

“Rock and roll is the musical expression of adolescent regression.”
