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.

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

Elvis, he was unique. And he loved the blues, it was a pity he didn't do more.

I don't think it's meant for man to know everything at once.

I've been married twice. Most women would rather not be married to a traveling blues singer

I've put up with more humiliation than I care to remember.

You only live but once, and when your died your done, so let the good times roll.
