Once you became associated with a children's show, you're finished.

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.

I had always intended to make a living out of playing blues. But I never admitted it to myself. I don't suppose I could have given a logical reason for it ever becoming possible to do so.

The parallel development in American blues to the British movement has resulted in Johnny Winters.

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 wanted to be able to play guitar. I wanted to be able to make music hurt.

I can't explain why one wants to pass a particular sort of pain onto other people, but you do.
