The way I paint is similar to rock in that you don't stand around and say, 'Gee, what are they talking about?' Rock is simple, blunt, colorful. Same with my paintings. You don't stand back and wonder what it is. That's Jim Morrison, that's a panda, that's a scene on the West Coast. It's not abstract.

Anyone who's 71 years old would look ridiculous singing rock.

If you don't own the stage, you shouldn't be in rock n' roll.

I left rock and roll professionally at about 49. That's too long as far as I'm concerned. Some people can do it; it depends on what you were.

I don't want to see old people doing rap or rock and roll. It makes me cringe.

Being in a rock n' roll band was like being in a Sherman tank. Nothing got to you. You were surrounded and protected by men.

I don t wanna see old people on a rock & roll stage.

Rock roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.

All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire
