I rambled all the time. I was just like that, like a rollin' stone.

Ain't nobody's business, if I bark like a dog.

I been in the blues all my life. I'm still delivering 'cause I got a long memory.

Theres no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, Im playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money.

Man, you don't know how I felt that afternoon when I heard that VOICE and it was my own VOICE.

Memphis was almost like going to California. Beale Street was the black man's street.

Going to Chicago was like going out of the world.
