If You're Not Nervous Then

I Ain't No Entertainer, And Ain't Trying To Be One. I Am One Thing, A Musician.

See, If You Put A Musician In A Place Where He Has To Do Something Different From What He Does All The Time, Then He Can Do That - But He's Got To Think Differently In Order To Do It. He's Got To Play Above What He Knows - Far Above It. I've Always Told The Musicians In My Band To Play What They Know And Then Play Above That. Because Then Anything Can Happen, And That's Where Great Art And Music Happens.

We're Not Going To Play The Blues Anymore. Let The White Folks Play The Blues. They Got 'em, So They Can Keep 'em.

If You're Going To Drop Behind, You Have To Keep It There.

When You Work With Great Musicians, They Are Always A Part Of You . . . Their Spirits Are Walking Around In Me, So They're Still Here And Passing It On To Others.
