Everything in New Orleans is a good idea.

Fame it's like... When you look through a window, say you pass a little pub, or an inn. You look through the window and you see people talking and carrying on. You,can watch outside the window and see them all being very real with each other. But when you walk into the room, it's over. I don't pay any attention to it.

Suddenly I found you and the spirit in me sings, Don't have to look no further, You're the soul of many things.

A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.

The sun's not yellow, its chicken!

I think of rock 'n' roll as a combination of country blues and swing band music, not Chicago blues, and modern pop.

I was sick of the way my lyrics had been extrapolated, their meanings subverted into polemics and that I had been anointed as the Big Bubba of Rebellion, High Priest of Protest, the Duke of Disobedience, Leader of the Freeloaders, Kaiser of Apostasy, Archbishop of Anarchy, the Big Cheese. Horrible titles any way you want to look at it. All code words for Outlaw.
