• Kid Rock Quotes

  "I care less if I can't be part of your scene because I am the scene. I am everything that is."

  "I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause."

  "I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that."

  "I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop."
