Fats Domino

“I feel I've been blessed.”

“Rock 'n' Roll is just New Orleans rhythm and blues under a new name. It's got that Dixieland beat and that's what sells records.”

“Only movement I've ever been involved in is when I push the piano across the stage.”

“I'm never going off the road. Love the road. Lot of fun.”

“If you like a person, then nothing they can do is wrong.”

“My music was a mixture of everything New Orleans.”

“I try to make it so people understand me. I don't try to make it so people don't understand me. I want them to hear the words.”

“My wife has never been any place I played. She doesn't like ballrooms and, me, I'm crazy about them.”

“There are a lot of people that have followed my career, and that's something I'm really thankful for.”

“Everybody started callin' my music rock and roll, but it wasn't anything but the same rhythm and blues I'd been playin' down in New Orleans.”

“I don't know why music should make people want to fight. It always makes me happy.”

“I've got to keep working, you know. After all these years it gets into your blood.”

“If it sounds catchy, I put it in a tune.”

“Some people say music's good for the soul and I believe that's right.”

“I was lucky enough to write songs that carry a good beat and tell a real story that people could feel was their story, too - something that old people or the kids could both enjoy.”

“I sing better when I'm hoarse.”

“I always had a piano. All of them sound good to me.”

“When you like somebody, I guess everything they do you like.”

“I like nice things. I like champagne.”

“My wife cooks the way she wants to cook and I cook the way I want to cook.”
