I'm all for a quiet life. I just didn't get one.

You can't accuse me of anything I haven't already confessed to.

I don't trust doctors. It's not to say there ain't some good ones, but on a general level, no, I wouldn't trust 'em at all.

Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.

Let me be clear about this. I don't have a drug problem. I have a police problem.

Another thing to do with the blues is how they were recorded. They were done on the quick, and some of that stuff was made on wire, not even tape, let alone digital.

Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.
