The wild night is calling.

I shall drive my chariot down your street and cry hey it's me.

We're [with Robbie Robertson ] jazz musicians. The context may be rock 'n' roll but it's still jazz. It's jazz and that means improvization...you play a tune the way it feels and you play it differently every time. It can never be the same.

Definitely Muddy Waters has been a prime influence for anybody who's ever done anything rock 'n' roll.

It's all complete instinct and intuition, and that's extremely difficult to teach.

I just can't stand it [jazz/rock]. It just doesn't sound right to me. It doesn't hit me...it doesn't get me...it just doesn't grab me.

I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
