I'm not getting old I'm evolving.

It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.

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

The only new technology that interests me is when it sort of throws me back soundwise. And I can think, "Wow, that means I can go onstage and sound like Scotty Moore now and again!"

Fame has killed more very talented guys than drugs. Jimi Hendrix didn't die of an overdose, he died of fame.

I personally believe that most people that play an instrument would be able to write a few songs here and there. But they say, "I tried, I can't do it" and give up and don't try it again; they get too discouraged.

Most guys I know are assholes. I have some great asshole friends, but that's not the point. Friendship has got nothing to do with that. It's can you hang, can you talk about this without any feeling of distance between you? Friendship is the diminishing of distance between people. That's what friendship is, and to me it's one of the most important things in the world.
