I got cat class and I got cat style

I put a metronome up to all the songs, and I tried to really keep it true to the original tempos.

With the Stray Cats at least, we really took the music somewhere else. First, we wrote our own songs. That's a real weak point in modern classics if you do rockabilly or blues.

It's not about how loud you turn the amp up. That's not what makes it sound big. What makes it sound big is fooling around with different delays and reverb settings.

Normally, you go into the recording studio, make a record and then take it on the road and you think... wow... I could have done THIS to it, or something.

I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten.

For every rockabilly festival staged here, there are 10 held overseas.

Mark Winchester has left the band. He's decided that he's tired of the road and just wants to concentrate on his career in Nashville. I don't blame him at all. He'll certainly be missed.

We’re not completely happy here because we’re not supposed to be! Earth is not our final home

Dad is and always will be my living, breathing superhero.

While I am a great believer in the free enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment.

My journal is my life's companion.

Within America, there are extremely different place. I'm not saying it's one homogenous color. It's obviously an incredible place. There's no other place like it, and it's incredibly diverse.

I was such a late bloomer I didn’t have feelings towards men or women, and frankly I was a little surprised when it turned out to be men

While personal maturity may mean being able to see beyond yourself, leadership maturity means considering others before yourself.

Sometimes when we aren't looking, the holiness comes breaking through like a rainbow.

Dying is strange and hard if it is not our death, but a death that takes us by storm, when we've ripened none within us.

If statistics are any indication, the system may well be allowing some innocent defendants to be executed.
