More quotes by 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.
John Mellencamp
Music actually meant something when I started doing it. Too bad I wasn't mature enough to write anything that meant anything.

I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past.
John Mellencamp
You cannot expect the guy who drove the car into the ditch to navigate it out of the ditch. You have to put a new driver in the seat. I'm not saying the new driver is going to be any better, but we need a new driver. Kerry is the only choice.

John Mellencamp
Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness will help a man walk tall. Walk tall!
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'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
My voice has gotten better from smoking.
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
The dust to which this flesh shall return, it is the ancient dreaming dust of God.
John Mellencamp
I've just been fortunate to havehad a lot of hit records, though Human Wheels doesn't qualify as a hit record-but it's really the best single I've ever had.
John Mellencamp
Most people in life, give up too early.
John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp
All I can do is repeat what I think is the best information that anybody ever gave me.
