The blues comes right back to a person's feelings, to his daily activities in life. But rich people don't know nothing about the blues, please believe me.

I liked roaming around by myself.

The music business used to carry a certain amount of brotherly love, but it isn't that way now.

If I'm going to do blues, it's going to be a typical Jimmy Rushing record.

This business switching styles can't be done honestly by one man. As soon as he can play his instrument well, he can express himself, and all his life he has only one self.

It's dangerous to get too far from what they identify you with.

I'm more relaxed when I can hear the beat clearly all the time I'm singing.

Anytime a person can play the blues, he has a soul and he has a 'lift' to play anything else he wants to play. It's sort of like the foundation to a building.

Out of a hundred years a few minutes were made that stayed with me, not a hundred years.

What drove me to become the world's greatest bodybuilder is no different from what drives other athletes to become great tennis players or boxers or jockeys.

Las Vegas is the most honest fake city in the world.

Victory was never in doubt. Its cost was.

It is vain to be always looking toward the future and never acting toward it.

Giving to God should come from the firstfruits of a person's labor rather than from what is left after the bills are paid.

Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.

Some departures bring more light to your life!

Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.
