“It's funny the way most people love the dead. Once you are dead, you are made for life.”

“When I played God Bless The Queen, I was wondering if they was gonna dig us, then quite naturally I'd go on and try to get it together.”

“The reflection of the world is blues, that's where that part of the music is at. Then you got this other kind of music that's tryin' to come around.”

“Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.”

“I got a pet monkey called Charlie Chan.”

“We have time, there's no big rush.”
