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

It's been very important throughout my career that I've met all the guys I've copied, because at each stage they've said, 'Don't play like me, play like you.'

I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department.

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.

I don't have half the nerves there that I have anywhere else.

All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head, with nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave.

I think I deliberately sold out a couple of times. I picked the songs that I thought would do well in the marketplace, even though I didn't really love the song.
