Intimacy comes from being yourself on the stage and making the audience feel, without trying, that you're sittin' down there with 'em, playing, and that can happen in a big hall, if you have a good audience that want to listen

I feel about me like I'm one of the working people, just like you, and everybody else. I don't fit the part of a celebrity.

And I'd like to leave quite a few friends behind and I hope I will. Other than that, I don't want nobody putting me on a pedestal when I leave here. I'm just one of the people ... just me.

I love music and love a good audience and still have to make a living. Why would I quit?

I'm like an old dog, I hate to be run off from home

You have to be yourself otherwise people won't know who you are.
