If the people in the audience are talking, you're being ignored. If the people are gazing at you, you've got something they want to hear.
From Chuck Berry
It's amazing how much you can learn if your intentions are truly earnest.
Rock's so good to me. Rock is my child and my grandfather.
Rock 'n' roll accepted me and paid me, even though I loved the big bands... I went that way because I wanted a home of my own. I had a family. I had to raise them. Let's don't leave out the economics. No way.
A contract is an ask game, and if it asks for an hour, and I submit to an hour, then it's an hour. When I look at a contract, I look at the obligation - where, when, how long, the compensation. If I agree to it, that's the way it is. I have an obligation. They have an obligation.
A song is a song. But there are some songs, ah, some songs are the greatest. The Beatles song 'Yesterday.' Listen to the lyrics.
Don't let the same dog bite you twice.
You know, your ears record. You might can sing a song once you hear it.
Praise doesn't mean anything to me. I don't judge myself.
You don't just go to the studio and say, 'I'm going to write a hit.' It becomes a hit when people like your compositions.
