 Hey, I didn't make a big deal out of Hotel California. The 18 million people that bought it did. |
| It was 1967, and the hippie thing was happening. I got into experimenting with drugs while I was in college in Michigan. |
| If the Eagles were to get back together, it would have to be for the right reasons. I think it would look awful if it were just for the money. |
| It seems when I put together records, as Henley used to say, they're just like movies. They should have action, tension, love scenes, places to relax. |
| Some people, they just don't get a joke. |
| Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women. |
| The last two years with the Eagles were pretty intense times. There was a lot of drinking and we were all getting high a lot. My parents were relieved when I got off the Eagles treadmill. |
| That's what I miss out of all this synthesized music - it starts to lose dynamics. |
| I won't apologize for ticket prices. I think we're well worth it. We consider ourselves in the elite touring acts, like the Stones, Elton John, Paul McCartney. |
| Nobody told Don Henley or me that we were going to make it as solo artists, but I can speak for Don when I say that we are both really happy now that the band is not together. |
| I read the Life magazine articles about free love and free dope in California. At age 20 I drove to Los Angeles. |
| There are only those certain people where things click - at least for me. |
| I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living. |
| Hey, a woman changed her mind - what else is new? |
| I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know. Their charity record of the music business would hold up to the work of anybody. |
| Somebody asked my friend Bob Seger, Why do you think the Eagles broke up? He said, Hotel California. |
| Without a reunion, the Eagles are forever young, like James Dean. |
| If you get a chance to be in a film, that's great. One of my goals is to make a record as good as Don Henley's album, Building the Perfect Beast. |
| My songs grow on people - like warts. |
| I'm just a bleeping maniac in straight clothing. There's no reason to dress my monster up. |
