Without the blues, modern music would be nothing like it is now - not remotely.
I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.
All my influences go into a pot like a big ole stew, and it tastes like all the years I spent trying to play the guitar like Stevie Ray Vaughn. It tastes like Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd. And if it comes out bluesy, then so be it.
Sometimes I wish I was poetic and subtle. I write very bold and blunt and tell it like it is.
I feel differently immediately when I start to put weight on. I don't like that sluggish, blunted disposition that I have when that happens.
Things like that become a blur - shot at some soundstage, somewhere - that's as much as I can remember.
Looking through the atmosphere is somewhat like looking through a piece of old, stained glass. The glass has defects in it, so the image is blurred from that.
I think, at first blush, the '60s always enticed me. There's something about the '60s, it's not hard to like it.
A girl can tell I like her when I blush or start telling bad jokes.
I got caught kissing. Like by my parents. It was so horrible. It's so embarrassing, I'm blushing.
Success took me to her bosom like a maternal boa constrictor.
Right whales, for all their size, are surprisingly athletic. They roll, they slap their flukes, they lift their heads out of the water in a move known as a spy hop. They find playthings and are particularly fond of swimming repeatedly through clumps of seaweed, which slides over them like a feathered boa.
Evil is unintelligible. It is just a thing in itself, like boarding a crowded commuter train wearing only a giant boa constrictor. There is no context which would make it explicable.
He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
I would like to be a gang leader on 'Sons of Anarchy' or own a lemonade stand on 'Boardwalk Empire.'
I don't know if we would have stuff like 'Deadwood' and 'Boardwalk Empire' if 'Twin Peaks' had never happened.
I like to put a little spin on traditional styles as I see them now, probably somewhat inspired by my current job on 'Boardwalk Empire.'
I tend to sleep in the nude... I'm a sensual-leaning woman. You have to use the word 'leaning' or it sounds like I'm boasting.
I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.
I'll be like Bob Hope, touring when I'm 100.
