“No matter how long you play the guitar, there’s always something else to learn.”

You spend your life dreaming, running ’round in a trance, You hang out forever and still miss the dance, And if you get lucky, you might find someone, To help you get over the pain that will come.

I’m not exactly a guy who makes new friends easily.

Most things I worry about never happen anyway.

When you kill somebody’s little sister with a missile, he’s going to hate you forever. And the next generation will hate you even more.

I always liked the idea of the guitar – because cowboys played the guitar.

It’s very easy to be cynical about the hall of fame. But on the other hand, it’s really a beautiful thing for someone like me. I dedicated my entire life to this music.

I’ve always had a great love for the blues.

What I’ve learned about marriage: You need to have each other’s back; you have to be a kind of team going through life.

I don’t think it’s a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem.

I don’t believe in censorship, but I do believe that an artist has to take some moral responsibility for what he or she is putting out there.

Honey, don’t walk out, I’m too drunk to follow.

I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.

Just wonderin’, waitin’, worryin’ about some silly little things, that just don’t add up to nothin’.

I’m so tired of being tired. Sure as night will follow day most things I worry about will never happen anyway.

Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There’s not some trick involved with it. It’s pure and it’s real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.

Even the losers get lucky sometimes!

I’m actually better on the guitar than when I started, I think, because I’ve had so much time with it and I still practice and I love to do it and I love to sing.

I always liked the idea of the guitar – because cowboys played the guitar.

One of my biggest thrills for me still is sitting down with a guitar or a piano and just out of nowhere trying to make a song happen.

By the time I was 12 or 13, I felt that I was special, because I could play the guitar and write songs.

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I’ve achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.

Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole.

I mean, give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string, I wouldn’t get bored anywhere.

If you don’t know the blues there’s no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.
