You can take things that Jimi Hendrix took, from Curtis Mayfield or from Buddy Guy for example, because we are all children of everything, even Picasso. But if you want to stand out, you have to learn to crystallize your existence and create your own fingerprints.

KISS is Las Vegas entertainment. A musician doesn't need the mask.

I think of music as a menu. I can't eat the same thing every day.

People are flowers. Music is water. Musicians are the hose.

Live up to your convictions. You walk in grace or you walk in fear. You can't have it both ways.

There is more value in placing a flower in a rifle barrel than making war. As Jimi Hendrix used to say, musical notes have more importance than bullets.

Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.
