I mean, it didn't matter to me that there were people, it didn't matter that I was shy Just the sound was so captivating that it helped me to get rid of those inhibitions.

I remember hearing Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Big Bill Broonzy, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and not really knowing anything about the geography or the culture of the music. But for some reason it did something to me - it resonated.

Given the choice between accomplishing something and just lying around, I'd rather lie around. No contest.

I don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.

Yeah, it is, because it's a real discovery of your inner resources, you know. That's what my character is all about and what my playing is all about. But to get up there and just go inside and draw out something that makes you feel good first and foremost.

All I am certain of right now is that I don't want to go anywhere, and that's not bad for someone who always used to run.

I often enjoy singing in an acoustic setting more than an amplified one.
