You’re not going to hear me do a rap song, you’re not going to hear me do a jazz song. We have to be true to our roots, do what we do, and try to do it a little better each time. – 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
I always loved music. You know, my parents said I started singing when I was 4, in the car. – Bob Seger
Even in junior high, I always knew I had a talent for music and I knew I could make money that way. – 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
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
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. – Bob Seger
I am trying to write stuff that is different. I am a big science fan. I read a lot of science, and ‘Wonderland’ has a lot of science in it. I don’t know. They are hard to describe… We are living in a wonderland age of science. – Bob Seger
Yeah, I’m just blessed to have this very strong thing, my vocals. I’m very healthy in that regard. – Bob Seger
I sailboat raced, I love to go out on my motorcycle alone, but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well. – Bob Seger
I was a runner, a failed quarterback, third-string quarterback, but in track I was a 2-miler. – Bob Seger
I did this thing with Trisha Yearwood, a song called ‘The Price.’ I had been sitting on it for a while, because I figured, you know, this really needs a good singer. – Bob Seger
My band is so dedicated, everybody works very hard. The No. 1 priority is the show, and it’s pretty cool because we all pull together, and it’s fun. It’s like being on a sports team or something. – Bob Seger
Every now and then you’ll nail one that’s really, really special. And that’s what you live for. – 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
The most famous rumor for me is that I had throat cancer. I never had throat cancer… I don’t know why that started… The way I sing, probably. – 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
