Rock n' Roll came from the slaves singing gospel in the fields. Their lives were hell and they used music to lift out of it, to take them away. That's what rock n' roll should do - take you to a better place. View quote

Karaoke bars are devil worship! View quote
Meat Loaf
You can decide what you want to eat for dinner, you can decide to go away for the weekend, and you can decide what clothes you're going to wear in the morning, but when it comes to artistic things, there's never a rhyme or reason. It's, like, they just happen. And they happen when they happen. View quote
Meat Loaf
These stories get made up, and I don't know from where. I have no idea. I didn't make that one up - sometimes I make my own stories up - but I didn't make that one up. View quote
Meat Loaf
We were aware of her profile, and it was... first, it's artistic: can she do it? Is she capable of handling this? Can she handle it emotionally? The song. Because it's a very emotional song. Can she handle it melodically? Does she have the range for it? Second, now then, you've got that, now you look to see...because it's a very strange duet, and I've always said it was meant to be a duet. I had the song in '86, and I don't care what anybody else says; I know it was my song, it was given to me in '86, I was gonna do it, it was always gonna be a duet, and I think the only real life of it is a duet. And that's my opinion, and my opinion only. That's it. But when it's a duet, it's a definitive duet. And then because of how it's a call-and-response duet, you needed the timbre of the voices. If you get someone with the same timbres... I'm being analytical, but that's exactly why we picked Marion Raven. And then on the fourth hand... what, she's twenty-two years old? She can get MTV where I can't! View quote

There was a band in Australia named Midnight Oil, and they were a very, very political, and they literally hit you over the head with a hammer. U2 sometimes can hit you over the head with a rubber hammer. View quote
Meat Loaf
A lot of actors, they know the camera's there, and if somebody moves around or makes noise or whatever then they get all distracted, but I pretty much lock in. You can't distract me too much. View quote
Meat Loaf
I'm an actor. I started as an actor. I started on Broadway doing 'Hair' and Shakespeare in the Park. View quote
Meat Loaf
When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters. View quote
Meat Loaf
In the early 1980s, I got into a war with my management - they just kept on sueing me and I lost everything. So I had to go out on tour to make sure the electricity stayed on. View quote
Meat Loaf
My life's far too complicated to be summed up in one song. It would take 20 just to represent one single day. View quote
Meat Loaf
I'm asthmatic. I was a lot bigger back then, and I still get winded on stage today. But I've learned how to pace it now. I have musical breaks in there. (Meat Loaf)
It's like people call me a rock star or this or that. And I go, 'Don't call me that. I don't think of myself in those terms. If you have to call me anything, call me a chameleon. View quote
Meat Loaf
For the past 32 years, I've done nothing outside the entertainment business. I've had some real highs and some real lows, but I love the work so much that I never once thought of quitting. View quote
