I believe in blues, and I believe that it's been misrepresented.

Anybody who's made it will tell you, you can make it. Anyone who hasn't made it will tell you, you can't

I really don't want to be a hunk.

I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable; generally, though, I think I am.

I was very successful from a very early age, and I want to keep it.

In a time when everything can be next day and ordered and put on credit and paid for, music to me is promise, all promise, very little realization. It's the promise of walking into a room with a guitar and not being sure you will leave with an idea that will take, not being sure it won't slip away from you.

I'll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it.
