Maybe someday you can accuse somebody of being a poseur by selling out and playing blues music, but that's just not going to happen in my lifetime.

• You get to a certain age where you prepare yourself for happiness. Sometimes you never remember to actually get happy.
• Look, demanding somebody do anything in this day and age is not going to fly.
• I was very successful from a very early age, and I want to keep it.
• If you get half a million, at a certain stage you probably will get 4 million people, if they are able to hear it. The touring thing is unbelievable. It really is amazing from what we did the last tour even to what we are doing now.
• I look away at car crashes, and I know people who look away at car crashes, because it makes us uncomfortable to watch other people in pain.
• There are people in the world who have the power to change our values.
• I've never done anything because I thought it would look cool.
• I can't even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It's a nightmare.
• My fear is that I go up to the girl of my dreams and say 'I'm sorry, but I've got to say hello to you,' and she slides the stool back and gets up and walks away, saying, 'Not for me, Bub. I don't want anything to do with you.'
• Sometimes I get so bold and I'm so confident about what I'm doing that I actually try to be more of a dork because it's a really liberating feeling to experience what it's like to not care.
