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'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
Dear Mr. President, can I ask you a question, when the bombs fall down will they hurt everyone in my family?
John Mellencamp
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy, someone that knows the meaning of hey, hit the highway.
John Mellencamp
I think the Internet is the most dangerous thing invented since the atomic bomb.
John Mellencamp
