Without a deadline, baby, I wouldn't do nothing.

There are 2 rules in life: Number 1- Never quit Number2- Never forget rule number 1.

Music, of course, is what I hear and something that I more or less live by. It's not an occupation or profession, it's a compulsion.

A problem is a chance for you to do your best.

There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind.

The most important thing I look for in a musician is whether he knows how to listen.

If you have a great band with a mediocre drummer, you have a mediocre band. If you have a mediocre band with a great drummer, you have a great band!

Everyone prays in their own language, and there is no language that God does not understand.

You have to stop listening in categories. The music is either good or it's bad.

I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.

Love is supreme and unconditional; like is nice but limited.

I tried to manipulate and control people and I harbored resentment. I wanted to be forgiven but I wouldn't forgive others.

She has passed information to you. Figures names and facts. You have learnt nothing very much. But you have a splendid memory. It will help you when you start to learn.

Do no look for that ideal person to be with, be that ideal person.

Take good care of yourself. Your life can be gone in a split second.

The first essential to success in the art you practice is respect for the art itself.

I know that you don't believe it, but indeed, life will bring you through. You will live it down in time. What you need now is fresh air, fresh air, fresh air!

I have always noticed that in portraits of really great writers the mouth is always firmly closed.

This doesn't seem like one of those 'truth will set you free' situations.

If you want to be respected for your actions, then your behavior must be above reproach. If our lives demonstrate that we are peaceful, humble, and trusted, this is recognized by others.

I truly believe that at times like this, silence is not golden. It is yellow.
