Come on, baby, light my fire. Try to set the night on fire.

When I first started playing guitar, everyone was playing Chuck Berry and B.B. King licks. I decided I was going to find other avenues of expression.

The fact that we represented freedom, you know. We talked about that in the songs and I think that the parents, like all parents, they want their kids to be in line and not go crazy or do anything too weird (laughs). And for some reason, I think, people identified The Doors as representing just being able to do whatever you wanted to do.

I didn't plan on rock-n-roll. I wanted to learn jazz I got to know some people doing rock-n-roll with jazz, and I thought I could make some money playing music.

We were all kind of freaked out recording the first album because we didn't know what it would be like.
