It's kind of hard to keep going sometimes but you just have to believe in what you are and what you can do and that's the way to success.
What I do is when I go to the stage I forget about me.
The jazz and blues clubs are like the jazz and blues musicians - they're disappearing.
I can't learn nothing from listening to me. That's something I already know.
Even the disc jockeys are saying, if I play your record, I made you. You got to play for me free.
I was denied a record contract for 15 years, so I'm not going to be too picky about what I do. I don't have the juice to say no too many times.
