But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.

Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

I can communicate far better on a guitar than I can through my mouth.

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on 'Reelin' In The Years'.

You can't overthink the music. Mood and intensity can't be manufactured. The blues isn't about structure; it's what you bring to it. The spontaneity of capturing a specific moment is what drives it.

I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

The greatest satisfaction is not the decoration. It is knowing that I am able to help someone who needs help.

A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong.

Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.

You know, the reward for 'Captain America' is amazing. It's always fun to see a giant spectacle film and see the fun stuff - the special effects.

It is thus only this personal feeling of misery that we get rid of by acts of pity.

If it's a flash it's been an awfully long flash. I've been around for 20 years in one of the largest media and political markets in the country, so I'd call it more of a slow burn.

There is as much trickery required to grow rich by a stupid book as there is folly in buying it.

We know to much to command ourselves very far.

The other side of every fear is a freedom.

Go out and serve the suffering. Learn to place others in front of yourself.

I loved planning 'The Tyra Show' more than actually having to do it. I loved coming up with show ideas, honing each program and crafting it. I'm more excited being in a meeting than being on TV.
