I'm not in show business; I'm in the communications business. That's what it's about for me.

I eat once a day if I remember, and I try never to go to sleep.

Richie is the only one of my nine who's really moved away. I can't get rid of most of them.

My right wrist is connected to the left foot. You know, if the left foot doesn't work, the right wrist doesn't work, and that's really the truth.

I opened the Woodstock Festival even though I was supposed to be fifth. I said, 'What am I doing here? No, no, not me, not first!' I had to go on stage because there was no one else to go on first - the concert was already two-and-a-half hours late.

I started out by myself, but it eventually turned into a trio by the mid-'60s - a conga drum and another guitarist. And that's been mostly what I've worked with most of the time.

I don't get sick. I can't afford to get sick.
