Quotes / Phil Spector

He made so many wonderful records,
Released such classic cuts,
He changed pop history,
It's just a shame he's nuts.
—"Only in California", Mitch Benn

I'm thrilled to be insulted by Phil Spector. He's my God, my idol. To be insulted by Phil Spector is a big honor. If he spits on me I consider myself purified.
—Jim Steinman, in response to Phil deriding him as "a bad clone of himself"
