"Don't think I'm ignoring you people back there"

"We were in this legendary studio out in the woods, away from everything. We'd stroll in, looking like barefoot mountain men, and jam every song into shape until we got all the parts the way that we wanted them. It was all very natural, very spontaneous."

"Lots of times, I've fallen down on stage ... When I was in New York, and it was supposed to be a big show  ... I went to jump up on the drum riser and I just totally flipped, busted and fell face down onto the drum riser and then in Memphis I fell off the stage once .. and we've all fallen down"

I would just like to say that those little red laser things scare the HELL outta me. I mean, I'm up here trying to sing, and it's like, AAH!...Damn they scare the hell outta me."

"I'm like borderline bitch."

"I've come to the conclusion that there are two types of people in life: Those who have been to Graceland - and those who have not. I am thankful to say that I am one of those people who has!"

"This next song is about...well, it's about f---ing up. It's not about you, no, it's not about me. I am a stable motherf---er!"
