Jerry Lee Lewis

“I am right. I`m always right. One time I thought I was wrong, I found out I was right.”

“I've always showed up. If I got paid.”

“Y'know, there's nothin' like tearing up a good club now and then.”

“You've got to walk and talk with God to go to heaven... I have the devil in me! If I didn't have, I'd be Christian!”

“Down in Louisiana we call that Boogie Woogie!”

“I've learned to be one of the hardheadedest cats in the world. I've learned that.”

“Either be hot or cold. If you are lukewarm, the Lord will spew you forth from His mouth.”

“Hippies? Why, I'm the original.”

“Normally, things are viewed in these little segmented boxes. There's classical, and then there's jazz; romantic, and then there's baroque. I find that very dissatisfying. I was trying to find the thread that connects one type of music - one type of musician - to another, and to follow that thread in some kind of natural, evolutionary way.”

“I work to please my audience.”

“When they look back on me I want 'em to remember me not for all my wives, although I've had a few, and certainly not for any mansions or high livin' money I made and spent. I want 'em to remember me simply for my music.”

“Other people - they practice and they practice... these fingers of mine, they got brains in 'em. You don't tell them what to do - they do it. God given talent.”

“I never set fire to a piano. I'd like to have got away with it, though. I pushed a couple of them in the river. They wasn't any good.”

“If I'm going to Hell, I'm going there playing the piano.”
