I suggested back in 1980 to do a chronological live album, but there wasn't that much enthusiasm for it.

Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

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

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

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

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

The greatest satisfaction is not the decoration. It is knowing that I am able to help someone who needs help.

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.

Take this short time that you have on earth and convert it into greatness.

Don’t let the world tell you who you are. You get up and you tell the world who you are.

One cannot answer for his courage when he has never been in danger.

A man does not become a real man by showing his physical domination over women. A man becomes a real man by loving, respecting and protecting women.

An inordinate love of ritual can be harmful to the soul, unless, of course, in times of great crisis, when ritual can protect the soul from fracture.

I've made some mistakes before.

Son of Poseidon? East asked. I nodded. Took a dip in the Styx? Hudson asked. Yep. They made digusted sounds. Well that's perfect East said. Now how do we kille him?

At the least bear patiently, if thou canst not joyfully.
