...some musicians, man, you hear the note almost before they hit it. Jimi, Coltrane and Charlie Parker were like that...
If you want to be successful, just meditate, man. God will tell you what people need.
I think of music as a menu. I can't eat the same thing every day.
No one's better than me. I'm not better than anyone. Whether it's Eric Clapton or BB King we look straight at each other. And that keeps it real.
When you play from the heart, all of a sudden there's no gravity. You don't feel the weight of the world, of bills, of anything. That's why people love it. Your so-called insurmountable problems disappear, and instead of problems you get possibilities.

The first time I heard a Love Supreme, it was really an assault. It could've been from mars as far as i was concerned, or another galaxy. I remember the album cover and the name, but the music didn't fit into the patterns of my brain at that point. It was like someone trying to tell a monkey about spirituality or computers, you know, it just didn't compute.
The worst thing you can become in life is cynical. Cynical is like concrete. and nothing grows in concrete.
