There are some songs that don't belong to The Animals that I refuse to give in to and not do. I enjoy singing other people's songs, you know. That's why they're written in the first place. Eric Burdon animalbelongenjoy Change image and share on social

I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life. Eric Burdon lifelovepart Change image and share on social
You know, jazz is the mother of all American music. R&B and pop and rap and everything are the branches on the main tree of the life of music, American music, which is jazz. Eric Burdon americanbranchjazz Change image and share on social
It's more important what you leave to people on this planet. I want my legacy to exist now, currently, not after I'm gone. Eric Burdon existimportantleave Change image and share on social
Having lived in the arid deserts of Southern California since the 1970s, my interest in water conservation is a very personal concern. Water! The source of life! Some people are squandering the world's most precious resource while others have too little clean water to drink. Eric Burdon 1970saridcalifornia share on social
I did have a life before the Animals, and I'm trying constantly to prove that I have a life after the Animals. People tend to forget that I was the frontman with War for two years. People sort of have compartmental memories. Eric Burdon animalcompartmentalconstantly share on social
As far as the Animals breaking up - it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart. Eric Burdon americaanimalbreak share on social
I always wanted to be a Californian. In my wildest dreams, I always liked California - it's the place where oranges grows on trees! Fruit just falls off the trees. Eric Burdon californiacaliforniandream Change image and share on social
