I didn't know Albert back then - I just learned to play that way. He and I were the only guys that played left-handed. Then left-handed people came from every direction.

I was staying with my sister and messing around with the guitar every day for my own amusement. Then she took me around and introduced me to Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Little Walter, and the first time I saw that onstage, it inspired me to play. I thought that was the world.

I'll sit around and play my guitar; that's how I write tunes.

To be hated cordially, is only a left-handed compliment.

I used to just sign papers and not pay no attention to what I'm signing.

I was in a Nativity play as a kid. Back then, I played the donkey.
