My mom loved rock n' roll. My father hated it. We couldn't play it when he was around. He liked classical music and Duke Ellington.

I always loved rock 'n' roll.

Rock n' roll was a kid when I was a kid.

Rock n' roll is very special to me. It's my lifeblood.

I loved rock and roll when that came in, Bill Haley, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, all those great records. So I begged my mom and dad for a guitar, which eventually they did get me for Christmas, but it went out of tune very quickly, and it hurt my fingers.

I love old school rock and roll.

My dad didn't want me to play guitar. He played piano, so I chose that. And I ended up loving it.

We had a really vast music collection and I was raised around rock'n'roll, it's just the way it was.

Obviously the people that I admired, like the Beatles, were really into rock'n'roll, but it was already a little past rock'n'roll when I started listening and making my own choices about music.

My mother and dad loved music, were very much into music.
