Music is life itself. What would this world be without good music? No matter what kind it is.

I never tried to prove nothing, just wanted to give a good show. My life has always been my music, it's always come first, but the music ain't worth nothing if you can't lay it on the public. The main thing is to live for that audience, 'cause what you're there for is to please the people.

'Cat?' 'Cat' can be anybody from the guy in the gutter to a lawyer, doctor, the biggest man to the lowest man, but if he's in there with a good heart and enjoy the same music together, he's a cat.

Good music is good music, but it has to be good.

Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.

All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.
