“In blues music, there's a lot of borrowing, so it's often difficult to identify the originator of a song.”

“When you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive.”

“My father did not rock. He just earned and hated. Don't end up like this man.”

“If an American company has a drop of patriotic blood coursing through its system, then surely it would set up in America and employ Americans, right?”

“You don't have to twist my arm to work.”

“I'm a big fan of the American Tapes label. But that's very hard to keep a grip on that because you blink your eyes and they've released three records, all of which are limited edition, all sold at one show. So you have to follow in drips and drops on eBay, which I do.”

“The blues is life itself.”

“The starting point of all great jazz has got to be format, a language that you can work within that, in some ways, is much tighter than the blues or even gospel. It's all working towards the same destination - the difference being that Miles Davis flew there, and I'm still taking the subway.”

“The R&B will always prevail. It will always last. The blues will always last.”

“If it wasn't for guys like Gary Moore, I wouldn't exist. He not only proved that the blues could rock but it could draw a crowd as well. All of which made a huge impression on me.”

“It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees' set on the same night.”

“I'm not a blues singer, I'm a diva.”
