I'm a blues guy and I listen to blues all the time and blues is timeless.

If you came to my house and said, "Well, here's the new Katy Perry record," I would give it a listen, but these records are constructed by producers in production houses with no human beings playing on them and it's interesting, but we grew up with human beings playing on records.

The longer you live, the longer you hear the repetitiveness of things. So, it's hard to get excited about new stuff.

You can create art that makes people feel better.

I think as a human being, if you can do something to impact someone's life, that's about the greatest accomplishment you can have.

People tend to forget that we tie our life history to music like the soundtrack to your life in many more ways than just having a hit record on the radio.

You can kill somebody, but I wouldn't advise that.
