We were sharecroppers - we were a little bit of everything. We farmed and tried to make something.

The first five albums I did, I tried a little bit of everything. I was trying not to conform at all.

I like to make people think a little bit.

I found a sound that people really liked - I found this basic concept and all I did was change the lyrics and the melody a little bit. My songs, if you listen to them, they're quite a lot alike, like Chuck Berry.

Everything you do, every experience that you have, enlightens you a little bit or worsens you.

Datelines are kind of an anachronism. It's a little bit of an affectation.
