And for me there's still more material than 20 lifetimes that I can use up.

I like all the kinds of music I've been into. I'm certainly not a purist in that I will only play country licks in a country song or blues licks in blues stuff. The thing I would like to be able to do is to make the music sound right no matter what it is. If somebody else wants to have a label for it, then that's their business.

If you're able to enjoy something, to devote your life to it or a reasonable amount of time and energy, it will work out for you.

Done time in the lock-up, done time on the streets. Done time on the upswing, and time in defeat. I know what I'm askin'. I know it's a lot. Just to say that I love you. Believe it or not.

Now there is no place you can go where you don't hear certain types of music.

What is life but being conscious? And good and evil are manifestations of consciousness. If you reject one, you're not getting the whole thing that's there to be had.

If you think of music as a language, the space part is where you throw out all the syntax.
