You're sitting with some guys, and you're playing and you go, "Ooh, yeah!" That feeling is worth more than anything. 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. You're elevated because you're with a bunch of guys that want to do the same thing as you. And when it works, baby, you've got wings. You know you've been somewhere most people will never get; you've been to a special place.

Rock and roll ain't nothing but jazz with a hard backbeat.

I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral.

The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing.

It’s one thing to play a Muddy Waters song. It’s another thing to play with him.

When you're supported by millions all over the world, you can either go nuts, or try to feed off the goodwill.

To me, it's important to prove that this isn't just teenage kids' s**t and you should feel embarrassed when you're over forty and still doing it.
