Quotes by Meat Loaf
The film business, for me, has been great, but the music business, we've always been on the outside looking in.
I get very intense: I get to the show five hours early. If we're on at 8 P.M., I'm there at 3 in the afternoon.
There is no 'Bat Out of Hell III.' That should have never happened. To me, that record is nonexistent. It doesn't exist.
I swore I would love you ’til the end of time, so now I’m praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive.
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night, I can see paradise by the dashboard light.
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks, but there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack Box.
