A guitar is like an old friend that is there with me.

If you can't get your songs to people one way, you have to find another.

When you don't have much money, you worry that they'll just put you in the ground someplace and your loved ones won't know where you are.

Sometimes the proprietors of the little juke joints gave me a couple dollars. I loved that. I'd go back next Saturday.

I thought Eric Clapton was good. He still is. Not only is he good - he's rock's #1 guitarist, and he plays blues better than most of us

Nobody loves me but my mother, And she could be jivin' too.

When you heard Jimi Hendrix, you knew it was Jimi Hendrix. He introduced himself with his instrument. His attack to a guitar man, was, oh, something else! You think of one of the great American ball players, or one of the great fighters of the world, you know, that's the way he would attack any note on his guitar.
