I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune.

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.

In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.

I've got enough money to live me two lifetimes so I don't have to do nothing I don't want to.

The one thing the blues don't get is the backing and pushing of TV and radio like a lot of this garbage you hears. They choke stuff down people's throat so they got no choice but to listen to it.

I just get an idea and then all of a sudden I've got a song.

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