Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it.

My style is all to myself.

I want to play music when I want, write a song if I want or watch a baseball game if I want.

It's never hard to sing the blues. Everyone in the world has the blues . . .

I am a happy man. I've had a good life.

I do benefits. I do them all the time. There's so many people out there that needs help that I can't say I won't help them.

I never build myself us. I let the people do that. I'm the most laid-back person, and I let them build me up. If you ask me, I say, 'I''m just a guy playin' some blues.
