I was so wild and crazy and dumb in my car. It didn't run but 30 miles an hour. You made do.

The blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll.

Of course that was my idol, Son House. I think he did a lot for the Mississippi slide down there.

I stone got crazy when I saw somebody run down them strings with a bottleneck. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and I said that I had to learn.

Man, you don't know how I felt that afternoon when I heard that VOICE and it was my own VOICE.

Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich.

I honestly thought my marriage would work because me and the wife did share a sense of humour. We had to really, because she didn't have one.

I can tell how far I ought to be going, I know how to get there, all I've got to do is keep playing.

I adore my apartment in New York. It was a ballroom that I remade, so it's like a loft but done by Louis the Fifteenth.

A broken life in the hands of God is ripe for blessing.

Get on the floor floor like it's your last chance. If you want more, more then here I am.

Both light and shadow are the dance of Love.
