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

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.

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

Someone told me once that blues is like whiskey. They keep whiskey in the barrel for so many years, and then they talk about how well it's aged. But I don't think that goes for him. I think this young man has just stepped in there sayin', 'I'm gonna prove you all wrong.' I think he's like a watermelon, man. He's ripe.

I learn everything I play by listening to somebody else.

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

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