I Never Use That Word, Retire.

I Don't Try To Just Be A Blues Singer - I Try To Be An Entertainer. That Has Kept Me Going.

The Blues Was Bleeding The Same Blood As Me.

Playing The Guitar Is Like Telling The Truth - You Never Have To Worry About Repeating The Same [lie] If You Told The Truth. You Don't Have To Pretend, Or Cover Up. If Someone Asks You Again, You Don't Have To Think About It Or Worry About It Because There It Is. It's You.

I Always Liked The Steel Guitar. I Also Love The Guys That Play The Bottleneck. But I Could Never Do It; I Never Made It Do What I Want. So Every Time I Would Pick Up The Guitar, I'd Shake My Hand And Trill It A Bit. For Some Strange Reason My Ears Would Say To Me That Sounds Similar To What Those Guys Were Doing. I Can't Pick Up The Guitar Now Without Doing It. So That's How I Got Into Making My Sound. It Was Nothing Pretty. Just Trying To Please Myself. I Heard That Sound.

God Made Blues Right After He Made Woman.
