John Oates Playing Quotations

To me, when a great band is playing together, it's amazing for me.

The only job I'd ever had that might be considered not playing music was teaching guitar, which I did in college for a while, but that still falls in the same category.

I don't require what Daryl requires. He likes the performance a lot more than I do. I enjoy playing with a great band. I don't need to tour.

I just like playing with the band and doing what I do.

You've got to pay me to leave my house, spend the night in hotels and fly in airplanes. That's what I get paid for. Playing I actually do for free.
