When I try to write I try to write something different every time. That's the challenge.

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time.

Make a destination of the greater truth.

Unlike a lot of people, I don't need the affirmation or anything.
Bob Seger

If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you're not really needed by your family, but you're there. And my kids like to know I'm there.

Like a rock, standing arrow straight. Like a rock, charging from the gate.

I'm older now but still running against the wind

I had the opportunity to be around my kids a lot. I guess I could have kept working, but I had them when I was 47. You only get to see all this stuff once. I just chose to work at home and watch them.

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

Tell them we'll be dancing, dancing 'til we drop, it's time to get down and do the Horizontal Bop.

You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.

I wish I had a nickel for every time I fell and blamed someone else. I'd give a ton of money to the ones I've hurt.

One victim lives in tragedy, another victim stops to stare, and still another walks on by pretending not to see
Bob Seger

You're not going to hear me do a rap song, you're not going to hear me do a jazz song. We have to be true to our roots, do what we do, and try to do it a little better each time.

The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I've gotta rest it for a night. So it's the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck.
Bob Seger

Yeah, I'm just blessed to have this very strong thing, my vocals. I'm very healthy in that regard.

Stood alone on a mountain top, starin' out at the Great Divide. I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide. Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise.

I sailboat raced, I love to go out on my motorcycle alone, but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well.

I'm really glad I didn't have kids earlier, because I probably would have ignored them. I was so into my career. I could just go and play a ton of shows, night after night after night. I can't do that anymore.

And just about the time I feel like screaming and finding me a wall to punch right through, I look up and I just can't help smiling, it's you.
