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

Water from the white fountain didn't taste any better than from the black fountain.

The blues are three L's - living , loving and hopefully, laughing.

I don't try to just be a blues singer - I try to be an entertainer. That has kept me going.

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.

I don't have a favorite song that I've written. But I do have a favorite song: 'Always on My Mind,' the Willie Nelson version. If I could sing it like he do, I would sing it every night. I like the story it tells.

It just seemed to me that the way I played was nice. I could hear it myself.
