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

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

I've never missed a gig yet. Music makes people happy, and that's why I go on doing it - I like to see everybody smile.

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.

I said, I'm going to stand up and somebody is going to pay attention to me.

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

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.
