Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I love you, yes I do.

You can bring your enemies to their knees with the possible exception of the North Vietnamese.

In the old days gigging was everything. The whole of life was about gigs. Everything was about waiting for the gig and then doing the gig and going nuts and then afterwards the party and all the stuff that goes with it. And then that party continues through your twenties and thirties. I'm now 51, and it's still very much in my blood, but I'm really hard pushed... the gig is the party for me now.

It is the most delightful thing that ever happens to me, when I hear something coming out of my guitar and out of my mouth that wasn't there before.

I think that American music, for me, it's a synthesis of a lot of different things. But for me growing up in North Carolina, the stuff that I was listening to, the things that I was hearing, it was all about Black music, about soul music.

I find it a lot healthier for me to be someplace where I can go outside in my bare feet.

It won't be long before another day, were gonna have a good time. And no ones gonna take that time away. You can stay as long as you like
