And I'm up while the dawn is breaking, even though my heart is aching. I should be drinking a toast to absent friends instead of these comedians.

People tend to repeat the same quotes at me that I said when I was 23. And of course, you say things then, and sometimes they're ill-advised.

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.

Maybe I just never learned my harmony part, because what everybody says sounds odd to them sounds perfectly natural to me.

People think it is all about country music, and I know a lot of country music has come out of there, but like Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dillon was recorded there. A lot of great records; R&B records, jazz records. It's a lot of great players and great studios.

Don't try to touch my heart, it's darker than you think. And don't try to read my mind, because it's full of disappearing ink.

I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years.And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.
