People just loved the sound because I kept it simple.

Every song is like a painting.

When I start playing I'm just a rollercoaster of sound. I don't know what's coming next, I never do, and I sit and sign and talk to the people afterwards.

Jimi was a good guy 'til he got into drugs. That's the way it is. I just tell it like it is.

I'll just tell you the way it is. You ask me what time it is and I'm gonna tell you how to build a clock.

I'm constantly being influenced by the soul that's directly in front of me.

I grew a love for helpless, defenseless things. People would give me lions and jaguars. I had cheetahs, monkeys.
