I don't like anybody to be angry with me. I'd rather have friends.

I don't think anybody steals anything; all of us borrow.

The blues was like that problem child that you may have had in the family. You was a little bit ashamed to let anybody see him, but you loved him. You just didn't know how other people would take it.

I've been married twice. Most women would rather not be married to a traveling blues singer.

Everything I record, I just try to sound like me and come up with songs that suit what I do, and then just go for it.

If there was no ladies, I wouldn't wanna be on the planet. Ladies, friends, and music - without those three, I wouldn't wanna be here.
