The blues - there's no black and white - it's the truth.

I don't like to wonder about it-I just like to do it. That's what I mean about the image stuff and all that. There's far too much emphasis being placed on that kind of stuff... the whole emphasis on what does it mean? Everybody has their own particular vision.

Some thoughts went through my head about recording some stuff that had influenced me earlier in my career like blues and early rock. But it didn't seem to really make sense at that point - it might have been taken the wrong way. A lot of people already had been into that trip.

What I like is natural music. It's like I was born with a gift to do something naturally, which I have no choice but to followup on.

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

I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.

I was just getting tired of the image bullshit...that man of mystery trip and what have you. What's that all about?
