Mainly what I learned from Buddy... was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.

I didn't aim at anything except good music.

His songs were soon curled on the lips of the world, they had earned him the highest acclaim. And yet his greatest desire was the simple warmth of love's fire, cause it's cold on the dark side of fame.

To me a guitar is kind of like a woman. You don't know why you like 'em but you do.

There's always one more way to do something-- your way.

Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it out?

If I could only fly, you see, a lot of my problems would be gone. When you think of just how much I'd save on shoes alone.
