There are so many sounds I still want to make, so many things I haven't yet done.

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

He was Jimi Hendrix! He didn't sound like anybody else but himself. He was like Charlie Parker in his way of playing, he played well, he was a person that made waves. When you heard Jimi Hendrix you knew it was Jimi Hendrix, he introduced himself in his instrument... You know, many radio stations play records and a lot of the times they don't call out the names who you just listened to, but when they play Jimi Hendrix, you don't have to tell me, [you know] it's Jimi Hendrix.

When I sing, I play in my mind; the minute I stop singing orally, I start to sing by playing Lucille.

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!

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.

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