I'd Love To Knock An Audience Cold

It's Been Very Important Throughout My Career That I've Met All The Guys I've Copied, Because At Each Stage They've Said, 'don't Play Like Me, Play Like You.'

Before You Accuse Me, Take A Look At Yourself.

I Grew Up Playing In Clubs - That's My Spiritual Stomping Ground.

It's Very Difficult To Explain The Effect The First Blues Record I Heard Had On Me, Except To Say That I Recognized It Immediately. It Was As If I Were Being Reintroduced To Something That I Already Knew, Maybe From Another, Earlier Life. For Me There Is Something Primitively Soothing About This Music, And It Went Straight To My Nervous System, Making Me Feel Ten Feet Tall.

I Feel A Real Need To Observe A Level Of Propriety In What I'm Handing Out. Instead Of Me Just Venting Or Spilling My Guts, I've Got To Consider How It's Going To Affect People. How It's Going To Affect Me, As Well. Because It's Like A Cycle.
