Family
"In those days, between the ages of 12 and 18 you meant nothing. You were the extra place at the side table if someone came to dinner. You were of no interest to anyone."
Interest
"I can't explain why one wants to pass a particular sort of pain onto other people, but you do."
People
"I must have been heavily schizophrenic all my life. The me who hears what the other me can't play is the dominant one."
Life
"If the same phrase in the same place created the right effect, I was perfectly prepared to use it every time. I wasn't worried that I wasn't improvising."
Time
"The British feel of blues has been hard, rather than emotional. Far too much emphasis on 12 bar, too little attention to words, far too little originality."
Attention
"Since the age of 12, all my musical thinking has been influenced by Afro-American music."
Age
"In 1940 I came across a record by Jimmy Yancey. I can't say how important that record is. From then on, all I wanted to do was play the blues."
Play
"Every musical movement that is big enough has to produce some good musicians who wouldn't have had the incentive to start playing without it."
Musicians
"The parallel development in American blues to the British movement has resulted in Johnny Winters."
