More quotes by John Mellencamp
I'm trying to write for people my age. And my inspiration over the years has changed dramatically.
John Mellencamp
The reason I said the Internet is dangerous is that a couple smart guys could hack into a computer and shut down the Eastern seaboard if they wanted to. It's a terrible, out-of-control thing.
John Mellencamp
I think it's ridiculous to try to sell records to teenagers, because teenagers don't buy my records. And there ain't that many teenagers out there in the marketplace.
John Mellencamp
All I'm doing is painting. It's my hobby. And that's that.
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
Most people in life, give up too early.
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
There's a young man in a T-shirt listening to a rock and roll station. He's got greasy hair, greasy smile, he says, Lord this must be my destination.
John Mellencamp
To say that we're doomed is just an obvious remark.
John Mellencamp
The dust to which this flesh shall return, it is the ancient dreaming dust of God.
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
I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain?
John Mellencamp
If Woody Guthrie set the bar for American songwriters, Bob Dylan jumped right over it. No one I know will ever come close to possessing the beauty of melody and the use of language that Dylan shares with us, with ease.
John Mellencamp
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy, someone that knows the meaning of hey, hit the highway.
John Mellencamp
When you live in hysteria, people start thinking emotionally.
John Mellencamp
In so many musicals today, the story is moved forward by a song. I don't think we're gonna try to do that.
John Mellencamp
I do things my way and I pay a high price.
John Mellencamp
Music actually meant something when I started doing it. Too bad I wasn't mature enough to write anything that meant anything.
John Mellencamp
This is serious business, sex, violence, and rock and roll.
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.
