“You can go pretty much anywhere in the world, and people know 'Beat It...” — John 5 Quote

“You can go pretty much anywhere in the world, and people know 'Beat It.' When I was growing up, you heard it everywhere. I remember being a kid and going to school dances and stuff, and they always played it.”

“When I came to California, I came from such an upper scale neighborhood, I was so sheltered, but I always knew I wanted to live in California, and I wanted to play guitar.”

“I am from Michigan; I am from Grosse Pointe. I was upper class growing up there.”

“I am a wire-walker. I can walk any time, anywhere - I'm indestructible.”

“I love New York. I can walk half a block and I'm at the grocery store. I don't have to drive anywhere.”

“Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.”
