At the Muddy Waters thing, I played the first song by myself on an acoustic guitar. I thought that was great that y'all did that tribute to Muddy Waters. I had a real good time

I left home the day after I graduated from high school because I knew we weren't going to make any dough to pay the rent in music.

You got to be pretty thin to be in the movies, or it helps. I would actually love to do it.

There are as many ways to write songs as there are songs.

You couldnt get a job playing in a club unless you played so much Top 40 and so many Beatles songs. I just went into a sort of revolt.

I said, other people can write songs, let's see if I can. So the first 400 or 500 wound up on the floor somewhere. Then I wrote one called Melissa.

When I got out of high school, I thought, I'll take a year or two off and play the clubs, get this out of my system, and then go to med school.
