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

Blues purists never cared for me. I don't worry about it. I think if it this way: When I made 'Three O' Clock Blues,' they were not there. The people out there made the tune. And blues purists just wrote about it. The people is who I'm trying to satisfy.

Janis Joplin sings the blues as hard as any black person.

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

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

I don’t like to feel that I owe anything. I like to feel that I pay my own way, no free lunch.
