“I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I’m doing.”

I can tell how far I ought to be going, I know how to get there, all I’ve got to do is keep playing.

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall’s on `Reelin’ In The Years’.

Almost the moment he died, they put him in Playboy as one of the greatest drummers, which he was – there’s no doubt about it. There’s never been anybody since. He’s one of the greatest drummers that ever lived.

I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.

Just because you play bass, doesn’t mean you have no presence.

I really wasn’t needed. Just straightening up riffs, that’s all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one.

You can’t overthink the music. Mood and intensity can’t be manufactured. The blues isn’t about structure; it’s what you bring to it. The spontaneity of capturing a specific moment is what drives it.

I’m still searching for an angel with a broken wing. It’s not very easy to find them these days.

I can communicate far better on a guitar than I can through my mouth.

I’m very fortunate because I love what I’m doing.

You can’t just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.

I’ve never regretted anything I’ve ever done.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn’t teach it in school.

I will still carry on changing all the time.

You don’t find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn’t mean to say you can’t be really good.

A lot of people can’t be on their own. They get frightened. Isolation doesn’t bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.

There’s great power in believing what you can envision in your mind. 

In control of my destiny never in doubt.

I know that we sin but I do believe we try, we all try.

Forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?

A liar will not be believed even when he speaks the truth.

Once you believe in yourself and see your soul as divine and precious, you’ll automatically be converted to a being who can create miracles.

Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.

I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else’s whim or to someone else’s ignorance.
