I had traveled 10 states and played over 50 cities by the time I was 4.

Imitations only better the original.

I don't have many easy songs.

The ultimate mystery is one's own self.

I didn't hate being 60 as much as I had 50.

I've done some things I wish I could erase. . . . I invented mistakes. But the mistakes must be seen in context, and they must be weighed along with the positives.

If you want to be the best, baby, you've got to work harder than anybody else.
