It's really good to be here and as I always say, it's really good to be anywhere!

A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence.

I don't know if people in New York recognize me or not. I'm not really conscious of it. If somebody stops me, then I suddenly realize that people are looking at me, but other times they may be doing it and I don't even know because I'm engrossed in something else.

I've got nothing against daylight. I don't live totally nocturnally. Only when I feel like it. Which is most of the time.

My life is full of broken halos.

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.
