When I was young, I didn't play like I do today. So these kids are starting at the height that I've reached. Think what they might do over time.

Religion began as a natural explanation of the universe. The problem started when people refused to accept new evidence.

We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you're doing so.

My ex-wife was trying to be nice once, so she took me to a concert in Los Angeles. I went with her to Symphony Hall, and the orchestra was playing. When the show started, the spotlight was sharp on this one man (Andres Segovia) and he had sombrero on and his guitar propped up like this and, oh man ... he was a master ! - I really heard it. That one guitar sounded like a whole orchestra to me.

I'm no good with chords. I'm horrible with chords.

I remember Elvis as a young man hanging around the Sun Studios. Even then, I knew this kid had a tremendous talent. He was a dynamic young boy. His phraseology, his way of looking at a song, was as unique as Sinatra's. I was a tremendous fan, and had Elvis lived, there would have been no end to his inventiveness.

No one can take it away from you.
