If the same phrase in the same place created the right effect, I was perfectly prepared to use it every time. I wasn't worried that I wasn't improvising.

The British feel of blues has been hard, rather than emotional. Far too much emphasis on 12 bar, too little attention to words, far too little originality.

Every musical movement that is big enough has to produce some good musicians who wouldn't have had the incentive to start playing without it.

I was considered as a jazz man rather than as a blues player. There were no blues players-you played one sort of jazz of another sort of jazz.

I guess music, particularly the blues, is the only form of schizophrenia that has organised itself into being both legal and beneficial to society.
