My father had a couple of Mitch Miller records and a Spike Jones record, and that was it. My older brother had two or three Elvis Presley singles, and that was about it. The rest of it I did on my own.

More quotes by George Thorogood
When people come to the show they think we are a legendary band because they hear us on Classic Rock radio all the time. It is psychological. That's okay - I'm down with that.
George Thorogood
Pain I keep to myself my music is for entertainment purposes and I always have that in mind.
George Thorogood
I didn't live in the world of disco or the world of the Eagles.
George Thorogood
Radio is paid by advertising. They decide what songs to play that'll keep people listening. And that's what promoters and the Classic Rock people do.
George Thorogood
Not to this extent but from day one I had an awful lot of confidence when I got started.
George Thorogood
All I have is my performance, I try to feed in the best of everything that I could possibly do into those 90 minutes and to make a live entertainment show out of it.

The [2012 covers album] 2120 [South Michigan Ave.] was different. We covered a lot of classics there. But most of the time when we did it I always prided myself on digging up obscure songs that no one knew of.
George Thorogood
Rounder Records decided to call the album Move It On Over, much to my chagrin but they knew what they were doing. It took off and to this day I can't figure out why.
George Thorogood
I'm a [Bob] Dylan freak, like everybody else.
George Thorogood
If you don't start drinking, I'm gonna leave.
George Thorogood
They said my friends were just an unruly mob, and I should get a hair cut and get a new job.
George Thorogood
I hate categories. Hank Williams is a great artist, period. Bob Dylan is a great artist, so is Marty Robbins. They just classify these people and put them in categories so they can sell the thing easier.
George Thorogood
I guess a good song is a good song is a good song, ya know.
George Thorogood
Every morning just before breakfast I don't want no coffee or tea, just me and my good Buddy Wieser, that's all I ever need.
George Thorogood
I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal. I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal.
George Thorogood
I figured if you want to get to where John Hammond is or Billy Gibbons is or Peter Wolf is, you have to start listening to the same stuff they did, and learn from that, and that's what I did.
