I couldn't believe how good Jimi Hendrix was It was a really difficult thing for me to deal with, but I just had to surrender and say, 'This is fantastic.'

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.

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.

Up until I became a father, it was all about self-obsession. But then I learned exactly what it's all about: the delight of being a servant.

The first band I identified with from Chicago was the Muddy Waters band.

I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.

I used to do crazy things that people would bail me out of, and I'm just grateful that I survived. But the music got very lost; I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't really care. I was more into just having a good time, and I think it showed.
