"I never tried to prove nothing, just wanted to give a good show. My life has been my music, my life has been my people. And my people is music."

"Seems to me that the people who all the time talking about what's wrong with the world, are the same ones who ain't doing nothing to make it right."

"I don't mind if I have a little something for my health, you know, a little pot."

"I don't know nothing about music. I just play by ear."

"I never tried to be anything but myself."
