On that show, I did country and some rock, too, whatever record I had out at the time, I'd sing that.
Bobby: Lewis, is this how you get your rocks off?
Forrest Gump: Sometimes, I guess there just aren't enough rocks.
Stanley Goodspeed: I love pressure. I eat it for breakfast.
John Mason: In my day, we did it all with a snorkel and a pair of flippers.
I think that pop, and to some extent rock, are like sport and fashion industry in that they're about the exuberance of youth. That's the sort of subliminal ideology.
I was raised to think that rock was music for ignorant people who didn't think for themselves.
I'm actually in my 22-year-old son Jason's band, After Midnight Project. The music is like Coldplay-ish rock.
Rock became an incredible commercial success, people just became bored with serious music, and it was forgotten.
I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.
I think between The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and innumerable acts after that... rock music became a huge economic force.
To me, rock music was never meant to be safe. I think there needs to be an element of intrigue, mystery, subversiveness. Your parents should hate it.
Singles have a purpose that is higher than any earthly relationship. Marriage is honorable, but so is being single.
I like Louis C.K., Chris Rock. Old schools like Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy.
Jesse Stone did more to develop the basic rock-and-roll sound than anybody else.
I'm a big fan of '30 Rock,' which I think is the most genius show on television.
It's sort of what jazz would be if it stopped being snobby and what rock would be if it stopped being stupid.
Rock n' roll seems like it's faded away sometimes, but it will never die.
When I was young, I wanted to do something more low-key, like become a drummer in a rock band.
Rock & roll is not about what you play, it's about how you play it.
I think rock & roll has prepared me for a lot of flexibility.
