The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.

I'm the Connie Francis of rock 'n' roll

There comes a point where it is just undignified to be a rock 'n' roll star.

There comes a point where it is just undignified to be a rock 'n' roll star,

When Little Richard used to stand up and play it was just fabulous, and Liberace had the candlesticks and the rings and the gift of the gab. The piano's is the most ungainly rock' n' roll instrument of all time but those two people transcended it, as did Jerry Lee Lewis.

There's rock n' roll in hip-hop, there's rock n' roll in pop music, there's rock n' roll in soul, there's rock n' roll in country. When you see people dress, and their style has an edge to it, that rebellious edge that bubbles up in every genre, that's rock n' roll. Everybody still wants to be a rock star, you know?
