The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Don Henley

  • Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.
  • A man with a briefcase can steal millions more than any man with a gun.
  • I have a bad back partially from playing the drums and singing. I used to have to hold my body in such a position that my spine got out of alignment.
  • Selling eight million copies of your first album will mess you up.
  • I could stand out front and sing Eagles songs that I sing in my set, but I think people enjoy watching me sing and play the drums. It seems to fascinate people. I don’t know why.
  • It was pretty frightening because as we all know, when large, famous groups breakup, a lot of the members don’t survive in solo careers.
  • Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn’t ring true.
  • The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time.
  • I’m blessed with a pretty good voice. So just sitting back there banging on the tubs wasn’t enough.
  • I think my first instrument was a ukulele that they gave me. I used to know how to play that pretty well.
