I don't like to approach people that much. There's been times when I wanted to say something to somebody, in a quick moment, but didn't. Then you think, man, who knows?

I come in with this rock 'n' roll-oriented music, and it's not black enough . . . I've always had to deal with this black-white thing.

I'm really happy about American Woman, it brought the Guess Who back. They started gigging again and got their song out on commercials.

We weren't put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being.

We've always just gotten up there and played. We don't have any dancers, we don't have all that stuff going on, we just get up there and play.

The way I was raised and the people that I grew up around for the most part were very humble people, and I appreciate all that they taught me, and their energy and their magnanimity help keep me grounded.

That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be.
