You know what I really love? The CD players in a car. How when you put the CD right up by the slot, it actually takes it out of your hand, like it’s hungry. It pulls it in, and you feel like it wants more silver discs.
Don’t plant your days they turn into weeds.
They say that I have no hits and that I’m difficult to work with. And they say that like it’s a bad thing.
I hate Disneyland. It primes our kids for Las Vegas.
It was a hubba, hubba, ding dang, baby you are just everythang.

Not the kind of wheel you fall asleep at.
You learn as much from your kids as they learn from you.

Jimmy Stewart said he stopped making movies because he didn’t like the way he looked on screen anymore. I’m more the guy who says I look like hell but I’m going to see where it gets me.
There’s a beauty of show business. It’s the only business you can have a career in when you’re dead.
I’ve seen it all through the yellow windows of the evening train...
There’s always free cheddar in the mousetrap, baby.
I may be drunk but at least I’m not insane.
I sold a quart of blood and bought a half a pint of scotch.
Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork But it always comes roaring back again.
