I try all night to play a pretty note.
I feel guilty when people say I'm the greatest on the scene. What's good or bad doesn't matter to me; what does matter is feeling and not feeling. If only people would take more of a true view and think in terms of feelings. Your name doesn't mean a damn, it's your talents and feelings that matter. You've got to know much more than just the technicalities of notes; you've got to know what goes between the notes.
Really I'm just an actor. The only difference between me and those cats in Hollywood is that I write my own script.
I have to get involved in my own kind of way 'cause I always want to respect my own judgments. I have to respect my own time.
Even Castles made of sand, fall into the sea, eventually.
Evil man make me kill you.
You don't have to be singing about love all the time in order to give love to the people. You don't have to keep flashing those words all the time.
You're just like crosstown traffic, so hard to get through to you.
Lots of the things we do are dangerous, but life itself is dangerous; nothing is really worth bothering with that isn't full of danger
One time I said: maybe I should burn a guitar tonight. You know smash a guitar or something like that. And they said: yeah, yeah! I said: you really think I should? They said: yeah, that'd be cool. I said: well, ok.
Music is Magic. Magic is Life
Purple haze all in my eyes, don't know if it's day or night. You got me blowin', blowin' my mind. Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.
Sorry for the tune up between time, but what the hell, cowboys are the only ones who stay in tune, anyway...
