If you assume you haven't learned anything yet, there's no reason your playing can't stay dynamic all your life.

It creeps me out sometimes to think of the person I was. I was a terrible person. I was mean to people.

I have been accused of being a very simplistic, very lyrical player, and that's okay. That just comes from the blues, which is my background. But every day you wake up and transcend. You can't ever rest on your laurels.

I love country music, but I find it very hard to take it seriously. I also think a lot of country music is sung with the tongue in cheek, so I do it tongue in cheek.

Tomorrow, our seeds will grow, all we need is dedication.

Even the hard times are part of your life story. If you acknowledge them and move past them, they eventually add up to the experience that makes you wise.
