I have been doing music all my life so everyday when I get up I expect music will be part of it.

The melody is the most important thing that must stay in the minds of the people who listen to you. No matter how many notes you play, you can't let them forget what the song is.

My whole career from the early 70s on has been mind-blowing. I didn't imagine in my life that I would ever be considered a guitar player first of all because I started off as a singer.

No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity.

The greatest guitar player in the world today for me is Paco de Lucia, who is actually Spanish.

The less one remembers about the day before, the more the new day will be unfettered by triviality.

Never give up on a good thing, never give up, never give up!
