I don't regret nuthin.

Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.

I consider my job [being a musician] is to have a little idea and nurture it and put it in some form that everybody else can understand and then sort of pass it on. It's really a passing through. In other words, you receive and you transmit.

Everybody's got a different way of telling a story - and has different stories to tell.

Before Elvis, everything was in black and white. Then came Elvis. Zoom, glorious Technicolor.

There's a certain moment when you realize that you've actually just left the planet for a bit and that nobody can touch you. . .When it works, baby, you've got wings.

Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
