Despite a few really bad days we had quite a lot of fun making Low, especially when all the radical ideas were making sense and things were starting to click.

I am flying back to New York as I write this. I will never forget these wonderful 35 days and I would go back to Copenhagen in a heartbeat to work there again.

When I was five my parents bought me a ukulele for Christmas. I quickly learned how to play it with my father's guidance. Thereafter, my father regularly taught me all the good old fashioned songs.

I am not a creature of habit.

It is easily overlooked that what is now called vintage was once brand new.

Fortunately I own a vintage brain, and I am alive and well in the 21st century, still making records, still working at an intense pace and most of all, still having fun doing it.

My father loved people, children and pets.

Now I know what it's like to be a rock star. No, I didn't sleep with 5 groupies at once. But I was interviewed about 45 times in 5 days in 3 cities.

There is a lesson to be learned from everyone you meet

My grandfather taught me generosity. He sold snow cones in Harlem. I went with him at 5 and he let me hand out the change and snow cones. I learned a lot in the couple of years that we did that.

Albert King wasn't my brother in blood, but he sure was my brother in Blues

Throughout my whole life money has always been a problem. But I didn't realize that we were poor when we were kids!

Osama bin Laden, who is a Saudi, feels himself to be a patriot because the U.S. has forces in Saudi Arabia, which is sacred because it is the land of the prophet Mohammed.

Scientists still know less about what attracts men than they do about what attracts mosquitoes.

The realisation of one's own death is the point at which one becomes adult.

I didn't want to just write stories that were entertaining. Nor did I want to be so scholarly that people couldn't digest it.

Vince McMahon said alright, we're going to call you the Blue Blazer.
