Since the big band started I'm just always swamped with movies and things. It certainly pays the bills and it's very satisfying, because I get to write all these big charts and all this crazy music.

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.

There's a fine line between pleasure and pain. Love me like a ball and chain.

The biggest challenge for me was Get Rhythm. I don't know why.

To me, rockabilly music paralleled punk's energy and feeling, but the players were much better.

The Self is the measure of everything.

Hell, any game that gives its players guns is probably not the kind that'll ever really let you go free.

A story only wants to be told. Don't stand in its way.

He who risks nothing has nothing.

Men's hearts are being searched...it is a tremendous sifting time, not only of actions but of inner motives. Nothing can escape the all-searching eye of God.

If I'm going to go to the opera, I want to see the costumes and the melodrama.

Nothing makes an android feel more useless than when a human is crying.

In the next 10 years, data science and software will do more for medicine than all of the biological sciences together.
