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

Risk is trying to control something you are powerless over.

There's a desire in me to express something - to match what I hear in my head.

It sounds strange for me to be saying this, but I've come around to the idea that sex really is for procreation.

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

When I saw Jimi Hendrix I knew immediately that this guy was the real thing ... and when he played it was like a rough sketch of what he was going to become ... this guy was our generation, and he wasn't in a suit .. he played a Howlin' Wolf song 'Killing Floor', and then we (The Cream) had to carry on the set. It was pretty hard to follow.

My selective memory of what drinking was like told me that standing at the bar in a pub, on a summer's evening with a long, tall glass of lager and lime was heaven, and I chose not to remember the nights on which I had sat with a bottle of vodka, a gram of coke and a shotgun, contemplating suicide.
