They asked me, How did you learn to sing the blues like that? How did you learn to sing that heavy? I just opened my mouth and that's what I sounded like. You can't make up something that you don't feel. I didn't make it up. I just opened my mouth and it existed.

I'd rather not sing than sing quiet.

When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.

I want a bigger band with higher highs, a bigger ladder. And I want more bottom - I want an incredible amount of bottom. I want more noise. When I do a rock tune I want it to be so HUGE.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.

At my concerts most of the chicks are looking for liberation, they think I'm gonna show 'em how to do it.

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.
