“I very rarely play with my fingers anymore. Again, with the flatwounds...” — Cliff Williams Quote

“I very rarely play with my fingers anymore. Again, with the flatwounds, the pick gives me a really nice solid punch.”

“I had a buddy that somehow got hold of a lot of American blues records, and I'd go over to his place and we'd listen to them, and I don't know who the players were, but it was a type of music that really attracted me. I was definitely in awe of the James Jamersons of the world: In fact, it might have been him who I first heard playing.”

“The PMRC is infringing upon everything the United States says it stands for.”

“It's easy to just punch down but the things that I think are really funny are characters who seem real. You have to play them with love if you want them to feel real. It comes off differently than just making fun of them.”

“You can have the perfect plan through the first punch but then you have to take the fight second by second.”

“Son, never throw a punch at a redwood.”
