All my family back to the 1700s were water Gypsies. My brothers and me, we were the first ones to be born on dry land. All the rest of them were born on barges in the canals.

What can I say, I'm an alcoholic. It's what I do.

I love to get into a landscape and paint my horses.

Most white Americans only discovered the blues with the British invasion.

Let's face it: I paint well. I know it, you know it. There's no arguing really, is there?

When I'm left on my own I'm my own worst enemy.

The last show we played, I was straight as a die. It did feel weird not to be hiding behind alcohol or dope, but being focused was... good.
