Joe Walsh quotes:

Everybody gets ticked off about GE paying no taxes. Look, we have a complicated, convoluted tax system. And only big corporations and wealthy individuals like Warren Buffett can take advantage of it. We need to simplify and flatten the code, get rid of all the loopholes.

I think the latest estimates were that we have about 250,000 millionaires and billionaires. President Obama wants to increase their taxes 13 percent.

The most terrifying thing that ever happened to me was that Keith Moon decided he liked me.

Inside the silence is a melody.

It's easy to get on to something like alcohol or drugs so my advice to musicians is don't lose your perspective because you will waste time in terms of years.

The shackles and the chains, the violence and aggression, the pettiness and scorn, the jealousy and hatred, the tempest and discord.

With any level of success you get some non-musical things that come along - money, ego - and it's easy to lose your perspective and get off doing what you did to get there.

Everybody else shares the same cloudy sky.

My Maserati does 185, I lost my license, now I don't drive.

Every veteran is a hero.

I probably hold more town halls than any member of Congress.

Every Saturday we work in the yard, pick up the dog doo, hope that it's hard.

Mass inflation, welfare line, gross economy, trade it all for what's behind curtain number three.

The song tells me what to play.

Now I'm running against a woman who, my God, that's all she talks about. Our true heroes, it's the last thing in the world they talk about.

Any man and woman, and I've been on the record, any man or woman who wears the uniform and serves this country is a hero. I've said that repeatedly at all the town halls I've had.

You know, there's a philosopher who says, "As you live your life, it appears to be anarchy and chaos, and random events, non-related events, smashing into each other and causing this situation or that situation, and then, this happens, and it's overwhelming, and it just looks like what in the world is going on ? And later, when you look back at it, it looks like a finely crafted novel. But at the time, it don't.

(The mainstream media) are so vested in our first black president not being a failure that it's going to be amazing to watch the lengths they go to to protect him. They, I believe, will spout this racist line if some of their colleagues up here aren't doing it aggressively enough. There is going to be a real desperation.

You can't be a legend in your parent's basement.

I wouldn't say rock & roll is dead but the current music made by young people isn't really rock & roll.

I go to parties sometimes until four, it's hard to leave when you can't find the door.

You can fix things with digital technology and there's a temptation to fix everything or make it perfect and what you're losing there is the human performance that may not be perfect but there may be magic in it. You can make it perfect but music doesn't sound good perfect for some reason.

If you raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires, you'll do nothing to address the debt and the deficit. And the thing you might do is you might finally put this economy over another cliff. These millionaires and billionaires are the folks that try to create jobs and help grow the economy.

Digital technology has eaten classic radio as we know it. Independent stations with disc jockeys who chose their own music have all gone; it's these huge parent companies that own a hundred stations and then decide what we should hear.

I can't complain, but sometimes I still do.

I enjoy my solo career because I get to play smaller places like clubs and theaters, and the interaction with the audience is much higher quality. It also sounds better than a baseball stadium. Everybody has a good seat, and I don't have to play a specific part like I do in the Eagles.

I'm making records, my fans they can't wait. They write me letters, tell me I'm great.

I wrote these songs for a dying planet, I'm sorry, but I'm telling the truth.

I am sober, grounded, focused, I'm writing again, I like where I am. I'm real positive and I got this great family that came along with my wife - I'm happily married and she's a great part of me that was missing - and I feel real good.

We keep grinning 'til the weekend comes, just a pinch between your cheek and gum, all night long.

With modern technology and science, you can't find one instance in which an abortion would be needed to save a woman's life. There is no such exception as life of the mother, and as far as health of the mother, same thing.

I've been sober for so many years. It wasn't like you flick a switch, and you're sober. It takes a while. You have to learn how to do everything all over again. You can measure how long that takes in terms of years.

I'm running against a woman who's got David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel running her campaign.
