If you think that UFOs will come and save you, don't be fooled. The Nazis invented UFOs.

More quotes by Eric Burdon
I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.
Eric Burdon
This really blew my mind, the fact that me, an over fed, long haired, leaping gnome, should be the star of a Hollywood movie.
Eric Burdon
On Memorial Day, I don't want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.
Eric Burdon
I used to hang out a lot in jazz clubs, and the groups took to a kid like me who wasn't afraid to get up and sing with a jazz band. Then I started to hang out in rock clubs and learned to carry off different styles.
Eric Burdon
I look upon The Animals, they were a great band initially, we left our mark, but thing was it was a band that couldn't live up to its name so I soldiered on. On one level, it was devastating for a while. On another level, maybe I should thank them for helping me make my own way in my own career.
Eric Burdon
I tried to reach the combatants with my music. I tried to turn my anger into something positive. Myself, and others like me, just tried to keep rock and roll alive.
Eric Burdon
From my personal point of view, the Animals are dead. They killed themselves.
Eric Burdon
In the day-to-day life of a traveling musician, it's easy to miss so many details. The world goes by at high-speed it will take your breath away.
Eric Burdon
As far as the Animals breaking up - it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart.
Eric Burdon
I did have a life before the Animals, and I'm trying constantly to prove that I have a life after the Animals. People tend to forget that I was the frontman with War for two years. People sort of have compartmental memories.
Eric Burdon
I'm not bitter, I'm bittersweet.
Eric Burdon
Have you seen 'American Idol' lately? I'm sure that some kids somewhere at this moment are thrashing themselves silly over what they call 'Rock n' Roll.
Eric Burdon
Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods.
Eric Burdon
The basis of everything that I plugged into when I was younger was blues, and it always stayed with me.
Eric Burdon
My voice? Yeah, well, I used to drink a lot of beer when I was a kid and I sounded like a drunk in a choir. I don't drink anymore.
Eric Burdon
In a nut shell, air travel is the worst part about touring.
Eric Burdon
I don't think I've ever changed. I am only one person, it's just me. I'm confident and I'm quite happy with who I am, but it's my life and I'll be what I want.
Eric Burdon
I'm really still a child of the Forties. I still think about it a lot, about the repercussions of armed conflict. Until 1953 we had rationing. We couldn't buy meat, we couldn't buy pleasurable goods like cigarettes and sweets. I didn't starve - my family were lucky - but I knew what it was like standing in line waiting for foodstuffs.
Eric Burdon
Everything I do - if I do it, is going to be personal.
Eric Burdon
Inside each of us, there is the seed of both good and evil. It's a constant struggle as to which one will win. And one cannot exist without the other.
Eric Burdon
