My ego only needs a good rhythm section

I'm not messing around with nobody's woman. If I want a woman I go get her - you know what I mean?

I don't care if a dude is purple with green breath as long as he can swing.

I don't pay no attention to what critics say about me, the good or the bad. The toughest critic I got is myself...and I'm too vain to play anything I think is bad.

I still got my Ferrari.

We're not going to play the blues anymore. Let the white folks play the blues. They got 'em, so they can keep 'em.

White folks always think that you have to have a label on everything - you know what I mean?
