I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.

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

In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.

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

Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all fear and confusion.

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.

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