As I always tell my runners, 'it is not whether or not you beat someone else, it is about whether or not you better your time,' ... They did that. Each of my runners posted a personal best.

I think that all the anger and cynicism comes from suppressing things that we always wanted.

The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning.

I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune.
night bars detroit
I remember back in Detroit, I used to go to the Apex Bar every night after I got off work. The bartender there used to call me Boom Boom. I don't know why, but he did.

I went on to Cincinnati. I had got a taste of the big cities and them bright lights. I stayed there until I was about 18 or 19 and then I went on to Detroit.

Since you knew they was goin' to cheat you anyway, I recorded under any name with all of 'em.

I hitchhiked, took trucks 'n' trains - anything that would pick me up. I stopped in Memphis for about six months and they found me and come got me. Stayed about a month an' split again.
winning loses happens
Someone is going to win and someone is going to lose. That's also what happens in almost every movie - someone is going to win and someone is going to lose.
dying batteries time-away
I like some time away to recharge the batteries, not only physically, but emotionally so that I get to the point where I'm just dying to direct again and then that's the right time to do it again.
