“I don't think we were trying to be pioneers. We were just trying to be a good party band.”

“I'm not a great singer. I'm a stylist.”

“People still want to have a good time, and that's what we're all about.”

“You can't take yourself too seriously. That's a big part of our appeal.”

“We never thought we’d be a band for 40 years. We just thought we’d be a band for a party.”

“Our music has always been about escapism. It's a way to forget your troubles and just dance.”

“I think 'Love Shack' is a state of mind. It’s a place where you can go to have fun and be yourself.”

“Ricky Wilson was the heart of the band. His guitar playing was so unique and defined our sound.”

“I always wanted to be an entertainer. I love making people laugh and dance.”

“We’re from Athens, Georgia, and we’re all about having a good time and dancing.”

“We just did what we wanted to do. We weren't trying to be weird or different, we just were.”

“We were inspired by everything from sci-fi movies to thrift store clothes.”
