I love what I'm doing. And the world is so mad at everybody. If I do something to make people smile, I'm going to say, I got you. For that moment, if it don't last, I made you forget about the other thing you might have been thinking about.

The jazz and blues clubs are like the jazz and blues musicians - they're disappearing.

When you catch me playing something at home, it's somebody else's stuff where I can what we call steal licks from, and that's how I taught myself how to play.

I can't learn nothing from listening to me. That's something I already know.

Blues is like American Express. I don't leave home without it.

Standing between these two guys you'd have to be me to know how I'm feelin'!

What I do is when I go to the stage I forget about me.
