Life for me is about movement.

It's a dangerous game that comedy plays. Sometimes it tells you the truth; sometimes it delays it.

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

We're all just animals. That's all we are, and everything else is just an elaborate justification of our instincts. That's where music comes from. And romantic poetry. And bad novels.

[Commercial radio] is owned by one or two corporations now, and they're not in the music business. They're in the advertising business.... So let's not kid ourselves. If you want to hear music, go buy a guitar.

Mention Hubert Sumlin, as well, because Hubert's a great man, and again, you know, I don't play the guitar very good, but when I'm playing this kind of music, I always have him in my mind. I wish I could play like Hubert.

The way you look I understand how you were not impressed, but I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress.
