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

I've got holes in my guitar.

I met Leo Fender, who is the guru of all amplifiers, and he gave me a Stratocaster. He became a second father to me.

My aunt played the piano and I used to sit and listen to it.

I don't claim to be a musician, I didn't go to Julliard.

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 used to be a mean maniac. Someone once threw a firecracker at a show and I jumped off the side of the stage and whacked 'em on the side of the head.
