Eric Burdon Quotes

You know, jazz is the mother of all American music. R Picture Quote #1

From my personal point of view, the Animals are dead. They killed themselves Picture Quote #1

OK, I’ve had a life of sort of success, some people know who I am but a lot of people don’t. I feel the need to change that still Picture Quote #1

Have you seen ‘American Idol’ lately? I’m sure that some kids somewhere at this moment are thrashing themselves silly over what they call ‘Rock n’ Roll Picture Quote #1

Having lived in the arid deserts of Southern California since the 1970s, my interest in water conservation is a very personal concern. Water! The source of life! Some people are squandering the world’s most precious resource while others have too little clean water to drink Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to be a Californian. In my wildest dreams, I always liked California - it’s the place where oranges grows on trees! Fruit just falls off the trees Picture Quote #1

I did have a life before the Animals, and I’m trying constantly to prove that I have a life after the Animals. People tend to forget that I was the frontman with War for two years. People sort of have compartmental memories Picture Quote #1

I look upon The Animals, they were a great band initially, we left our mark, but thing was it was a band that couldn’t live up to its name so I soldiered on. On one level, it was devastating for a while. On another level, maybe I should thank them for helping me make my own way in my own career Picture Quote #1

I’m really still a child of the Forties. I still think about it a lot, about the repercussions of armed conflict. Until 1953 we had rationing. We couldn’t buy meat, we couldn’t buy pleasurable goods like cigarettes and sweets. I didn’t starve - my family were lucky - but I knew what it was like standing in line waiting for foodstuffs Picture Quote #1

In the day-to-day life of a traveling musician, it’s easy to miss so many details. The world goes by at high-speed; it will take your breath away Picture Quote #1

Longevity is something I never gave a second thought to. I guess it’s the shadow of growing up in post WWII, but I never believed I would live past 20. Here I am though... a senior citizen... my voice and heart are stronger than ever, but boredom is the greatest enemy so I have to be careful not to slip over the edge Picture Quote #1

On Memorial Day, I don’t want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live Picture Quote #1

The Animals were their own worst enemy. The Animals were a band that couldn’t live up to their name. I was the singer in the band and as long as I was enjoying myself I would keep on working with the band. But it got to be rather nasty once the big money showed up - things started to turn toxic Picture Quote #1

My voice? Yeah, well, I used to drink a lot of beer when I was a kid and I sounded like a drunk in a choir. I don’t drink anymore Picture Quote #1

There are some songs that don’t belong to The Animals that I refuse to give in to and not do. I enjoy singing other people’s songs, you know. That’s why they’re written in the first place Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to create a dream. You’ve got to uphold the dream. If you can’t, go back to the factory or go back to the desk Picture Quote #1

It’s the need for change that drives us to join forces with our brothers and sisters all around the world - but change is slow Picture Quote #1

One of my reasons for living in California is its close proximity to Mexico. The Latin influence is in every corner of the community. My love of Spanish music hasn’t wavered since the 50s. I could hear the blues voicing from the Flamanco families and I always dig for inspiration in Latin music Picture Quote #1

I don’t think Jimi committed suicide in the conventional way. He just decided to exit when he wanted to Picture Quote #1

I used to hang out a lot in jazz clubs, and the groups took to a kid like me who wasn’t afraid to get up and sing with a jazz band. Then I started to hang out in rock clubs and learned to carry off different styles Picture Quote #1

People we’ve encountered at pivotal moments who profoundly influence our direction are not necessarily the people whose names everybody knows. More often, they are the people who say or do just the right thing, at the right time Picture Quote #1

I feel great that I’ve been given a chance in the golden years of my life. To me, it’s the last battle, and I’ve been given a chance to get stuck in some good armament, some good power, and there’s a chance that now I can finish off my working years with my head held high Picture Quote #1

Inside each of us, there is the seed of both good and evil. It’s a constant struggle as to which one will win. And one cannot exist without the other Picture Quote #1

As far as the Animals breaking up - it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart Picture Quote #1
