If you want to do rock and roll, forget about those who've come after '65.

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.

I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.

I feel I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and composition. That's why I've been able to keep going.

There's more power in the simpler things, I think.

Oddly enough, Hendrix is not my favorite guitar player. There are very few guitar players I get feeling from.

It's great to have something you can be proud of.
