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.

One of the most beneficial things I've ever learned is how to keep my mouth shut.

It's taken me to be an older guy, an old man, to have an old man's voice. Because I only liked old men's voices. As a kid, I didn't like pip-squeaked singers.

Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.

I've always wanted the sound of Muddy Waters' early records - only louder

To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.

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