"Chuck Berry doesn't give interviews." — Chuck Berry

Rock 'n' roll accepted me and paid me, even though I loved the big bands... I went that way because I wanted a home of my own. I had a family. I had to raise them. Let's don't leave out the economics. No way.

In a Toyota, the cops don't think about stopping you so much.

I made records for people who would buy them. No color, no ethnic, no political - I don't want that, never did.

My music is simple stuff. Anybody can sit down, look at a set of symbols and produce sounds the music represents.

It's not me to toot my horn. The minute you toot your horn, it seems like society will try and disconnect your battery. And if you do not toot your horn, they'll try their darnedest to give you a horn to toot, or say that you should have a horn.

I love poetry. I love rhyming. Do you know, there are poets who don't rhyme? Shakespeare did not rhyme most of the time, and that's why I do not like him.

The Man Upstairs is taking care of me.
