More quotes by John Mellencamp

The simple man, baby, pays for the thrills, the bills, and the pills that kill.
John Mellencamp
I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past.
John Mellencamp

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?

It's my responsibility as a singer-songwriter to report the news.
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
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
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
Don't ever lose that innocent laughter, don't let time take that away
John Mellencamp
Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness will help a man walk tall. Walk tall!
John Mellencamp
She said she wasn't afraid of Satan, in fact, she thought he was a joke. She said she'd tear his tail off and run her fist down his throat.
John Mellencamp
This is serious business, sex, violence, and rock and roll.
John Mellencamp
Be careful of those who kill in Jesus' name he don't believe in killing at all.
