More quotes by John Mellencamp
I went to New York in 1974, to either try to get a record deal, get into the New York Art Student League, or be a dancer. So that was my plan. Some plan. And I had no money.
John Mellencamp
My voice has gotten better from smoking.

I remember the first time I saw a CD, a technology guy brought one to my house and said we will be able to sell millions and millions of players, and people will have to restock their record collections. It was all about money. It was all about how much money we would make, we being him.

With no bottom line, it's hard to know wrong from right. But I ain't ever satisfied.
John Mellencamp
I've never fit in in any music world. I've always been an outsider. I mean, the fact that I live in Indiana - I live in a fly-over state... I'm not running away from anything, that's the problem. Most people go to cities because they don't like where they come from.
John Mellencamp

For me or a Bruce Springsteen to sit up in our ivory towers and make comments about racism, well, were not really in it, are we?
John Mellencamp
I enjoy the pleasure of my own company.
John Mellencamp
The CD, it should be noted, was born out of greed. It was devised to prop up record sales on the expectation of people replenishing their record collections with CDs of albums they had already purchased.
John Mellencamp
I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past.
John Mellencamp
Natalie from the Dixie Chicks could have said what she said before 9-11 and no one would have cared.
John Mellencamp
Don't ever lose that innocent laughter, don't let time take that away
John Mellencamp
The dust to which this flesh shall return, it is the ancient dreaming dust of God.
John Mellencamp
I've never had anybody produce my records. I've always produced my own records. I've worked with a guy for a while who was an engineer who helped me produce records, but I've always made my own records. I'm a control fanatic. I've got to control everything.
John Mellencamp
A lot of Woody Guthrie's songs were taken from other songs. He would rework the melody and lyrics, and all of a sudden it was a Woody Guthrie song.
John Mellencamp
I have a bunch of information in my head that I'm not afraid to put in song or onto a canvas. Into any conversation.
