I guess you can look at me, and tell I'm the old man. My name is BB King.

And as long as people have problems, the blues can never die.

We are here because there are things that need our help. Like the planet. Like each other. Like animals. The world is like a garden, and we are its protectors.

There's a sadness to all kinds of music if you want to hear it. There's also happiness to it if you want to hear it.

Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!

Michael Bloomfield came in after rock n roll started, and he was a great guitarist. He idolized me - I know that. What else can I say ? he was a young, excitable man. To him, drugs were plentiful, and that was no good. I talked to him like he was a son of mine. He was a great and he was gonna be greater. But he was part of the "in-crowd" and so he never got there

Being a blues singer is like being black two times.
