When I saw all of the people I have known all these years, when we got together, it was scary because B.B King and I lived in the same place in Nevada.

But of course it's different now, the blues is no longer blues, it's green now.

All of these years that I have been singing, no one has done a documentary about my music as far as I'm concerned.

We are trying to prove that the blues lives on forever and anybody in this place can sing the blues.

The only person who listens to both sides of an argument is the fellow in the next apartment.

There was a time we decided that it was songs that were done especially from my background because of the things we were dealing with, but nowadays, anybody who has a need, and can find the need, they can sing the blues.

Everytime I think I want to be young again, I remember algebra and physics.
