Every now and then you'll nail one that's really, really special. And that's what you live for.
Bob Seger

Great sex is wonderful while it's happening, but who remembers great sex they had in 1983?
Bob Seger

I had the opportunity to be around my kids a lot. I guess I could have kept working, but I had them when I was 47. You only get to see all this stuff once. I just chose to work at home and watch them.
Bob Seger

I just fell into the Dylanesque idea of recording. He is real fast.
Bob Seger

I never say never, because I don't want to be one of those guys.
Bob Seger

I really like the thing I did with Martina McBride. I had that song sitting around for a long time.
Bob Seger

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
Bob Seger

I write a lot of songs people don't hear. I really just enjoy the process. I finish 'em all. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between the bad ones and the good ones.
Bob Seger

I write probably 80 percent of my stuff over the winter.
Bob Seger

I'm just trying to keep things simple, and just be a little more offhand and not get so deep into things. Enjoy what you got right now, because who knows what's going to happen tomorrow.
Bob Seger


I'm really glad I didn't have kids earlier, because I probably would have ignored them. I was so into my career. I could just go and play a ton of shows, night after night after night. I can't do that anymore.
Bob Seger

If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you're not really needed by your family, but you're there. And my kids like to know I'm there.
Bob Seger

My management tells me, Don't be optimistic, because it's the young people's world now. They want to hear what they want to hear, and you're a classic rocker. I don't know if you're gonna get the play.
Bob Seger

Radio is so fragmented, it's unbelievable.
Bob Seger

The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I've gotta rest it for a night. So it's the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck.
Bob Seger

We've got to practice three weeks, get the kinks out, then we've got to practice three weeks with the crew, and then go out for four months. It's just a huge chunk of time out of life.
Bob Seger

You can't get a good crew and a good sound system, and a good light system if you do a small tour. If you want the best, those guys want a commitment of about 4 to 6 months. And I'd want the best people and the best stuff.
Bob Seger

You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.
