Casey Kasem's quotes
- [his catchphrase] Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
- Growing up, I actually wanted to be a professional baseball player, instead of a radio DJ. Believe it or not.
- [on his American Top 40 show] I accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. That is the timeless thing.
- [on his recognizable voice quality] It's a natural quality of huskiness in the midrange of my voice that I call 'garbage'. It's not a clear-toned announcer's voice. It's more like the voice of the guy next door.
