If somebody wants to sing my songs after I'm gone, nobody will be happier than my dead body.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd rather be dead than singing 'Satisfaction' when I'm forty-five.
Whenever somebody tells me they want me to stop singing, I'm gone.
I'll sing as long as people want to hear me, and I'll be able to sing as long as I'm alive.
Some day I'm gonna be gone and people will be listening to my songs and conjuring me up. In order for that to happen, you gotta put something of yourself in it.
If I cannot sing, I have the impression that I no longer exist. I mean it. I mean that I am not physically there.
If I hadn't had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.
People used to say nobody can sing my songs but me - they're too personal.
I can still sing. If you are dead, you can't sing.
Singing is a form of admitting that I'm alive.
I'll only stop singing when I'm in my grave.
