155 Quotes by Steve Miller

Vinyl's like a really juicy steak compared to like a kind of tough steak or something. It's really good. And once you listen to vinyl and get a chance to hear it, I think anyone will enjoy it more than they will digital.

I kind of enjoyed having people complain that I wasn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame more than I think I'll like being in it.

There aren't that many people that cover my music. It's kind of hard to cover. Everybody always has their own spin. The only guy who didn't, I think, was Seal. It just sounded like a bad version of 'Fly Like an Eagle.'

What the hell is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and what does it do besides talk about itself and sell postcards?

I play for the audience's pleasure. What I expect from them is not important; it's what they expect from me.
