I warm up at home. I hit the stage, I'm ready, whether it's rehearsal or anything.

I do believe that my whole success goes back to that time I was arrested as a wayward boy at the age of thirteen. Because then I had to quit running around and began to learn something. Most of all, I began to learn music.

There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind.

Musicians don't retire; they stop when there's no more music in them.

Music is life itself. What would this world be without good music? No matter what kind it is.

'Cat?' 'Cat' can be anybody from the guy in the gutter to a lawyer, doctor, the biggest man to the lowest man, but if he's in there with a good heart and enjoy the same music together, he's a cat.

All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.
