We gotta stop smokin', stop, stop. I mean cigarette smoking.

Let me live my life the way I want to.

I'd like to get something together - like a Handel, Bach, Muddy waters, flamenco type of thing. If I could get that sound, I'd be happy

This is your life - you must die by yourself, so for heaven's sake, live for yourself and no one else. . . .

The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.

Sometimes music comes across to me just when I am sitting around doing nothing, and then the music makes me think of a few words I might have written.

Music is my religion.
