I'm an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.

You can't mastermind everything. You'll go crazy. Just show up and play.

You were at school and you were pimply and no one wanted to know you. You get into a group and you've got thousands of chicks there.

I thought, 'My God, this is like Buddy Guy on acid.'

I sought my father in the world of the black musician, because it contained wisdom, experience, sadness and loneliness. I was not ever interested in the music of boys. From my youngest years, I was interested in the music of men.

And if I don't be there by morning, she'll know that I must've spent the night in jail.

I'm an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.
