I wanted to connect my guitar to human emotions.

When I do eventually drop, I pray to God that it will happen in one of three ways. Firstly, on stage or leaving the stage, then secondly in my sleep. And the third way? You'll have to figure that out for yourself!

I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an' my guitar to my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another.

I gave you seven children, but now you want to give them back.

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

I'd rather be B.B. King. That's the way I started. Let the heavy metal guys play heavy metal, let the others play the other ... I try to do what I do better, not get away from it.

Growing up, I was taught that a man has to defend his family. When the wolf is trying to get in, you gotta stand in the doorway.
