About myself I have no great illusions. I know what I am. I know what I'm good at. I know what I ain't. I'm always hoping to surprise myself. But I do have a love of music and I do love to communicate it, and that's the best I can do, really. And I can raise a good family, too.

To me, the main thing about living on this planet is to know who the hell you are and be real about it. That's the reason I'm still alive.

What's the big deal about still working? Retirement age is sixty-five, and that's at a normal job - and I ain't there yet.

Women are a beautiful complication, and I look forward to far more beauties and far more complications.

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.

I don't regret nuthin.

True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you ; you just grow into each other
