When we edit the music, I always remember, "It's my band. Save me a place to play."

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.

As long as I've been playing, they never say I done anything. They always say that some white guy did it.

People will go for anything they don't understand if it's got enough hype.

The melody is French. But that's the end of the record. I named it "Jean Pierre Then There Were None," you know, because of the big explosion. You'll like it. It's a nice album.

Some musicians play with their heart, you know what I mean? I don't know what to tell a person that can't - if you can't tell a person what you're talkin' about when they're rushin' or droppin' the tempo, you get somebody else.

If you're going to drop behind, you have to keep it there.
