You're just like crosstown traffic, so hard to get through to you.
Rock is so much fun. That's what it's all about - filling up the chest cavities and empty kneecaps and elbows.
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.
Little Wing is like one of these beautiful girls that come around sometimes ... you play your gig; it's the same thing as the olden days, and these beautiful girls come around.. you do actually fall in love with them because that's the only love you can have. It's not always the physical thing of "Oh, there's one over there ...", it's not one of those scenes. They actually tell you something. They release different things inside themselves ... "Little Wing" was a very sweet girl that came around that gave me her whole life and more if I wanted it ...
When things get too heavy, just call me helium, the lightest known gas to man.
Really I'm just an actor. The only difference between me and those cats in Hollywood is that I write my own script.
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
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.
I try all night to play a pretty note.
The way I write things, I just write them with a clash between reality and fantasy mostly. You have to use fantasy to show different sides of reality; it's how it can bend.
May I love you away from the evils of today to the dreams of tomorrow, you know heaven has no sorrow.
Kenny Burrell that's the sound I'm looking for.
Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armor. Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him, her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.
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.
