My style is all to myself.

The way Will Moore taught me, and the way I play it, the blues is just something different.

I do benefits. I do them all the time. There's so many people out there that needs help that I can't say I won't help them.

Since you knew they was goin' to cheat you anyway, I recorded under any name with all of 'em.

You can go to Europe, and there's no turnin' back - any parts of Europe. Wherever you are, there is no stop and go for the blues. The blues go but it don't stop.

In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.

Groups are corporations now. They have pension plans. Musicians have saw the daylight.

They wasn't gonna give you nothin'. I didn't care as long as they let me play my music. Cash on the spot... You cheat me and I'm gonna get me some money, too.

I have heartaches, I have blues. No matter what you got, the blues is there. 'Cause that's all I know - the blues. And I can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and I can give you the blues.

I went on to Cincinnati. I had got a taste of the big cities and them bright lights. I stayed there until I was about 18 or 19 and then I went on to Detroit.

I don't do nothing I don't want to do.

If they played more blues, people would just get it - they try to hold it back but just about can't hold it back now because the blues is really going.

I am a happy man. I've had a good life.

I like dropping into a small club and playing with some people, trying to help them get a start.

I want to play music when I want, write a song if I want or watch a baseball game if I want.

It don't take me no three days to record no album.

I've got enough money to live me two lifetimes so I don't have to do nothing I don't want to.

The one thing the blues don't get is the backing and pushing of TV and radio like a lot of this garbage you hears. They choke stuff down people's throat so they got no choice but to listen to it.

I hitchhiked, took trucks 'n' trains - anything that would pick me up. I stopped in Memphis for about six months and they found me and come got me. Stayed about a month an' split again.

I remember back in Detroit, I used to go to the Apex Bar every night after I got off work. The bartender there used to call me Boom Boom. I don't know why, but he did.

I like the small clubs.

I don't play a lot of fancy guitar. I don't want to play it. The kind of guitar I want to play is mean, mean licks.

The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning.

Oh, I still like to play and I still play when I want to.

My style is all to myself.

All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.

I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune.

I just get an idea and then all of a sudden I've got a song.

Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it.

But I don't want to do no big tours or go out on the road.

The generic Canadian style of illustration is different from the generic American style.

Style is as much under the words as in the words. It is as much the soul as it is the flesh of a work.

I want to be the first lady to land a quadruple jump in competition. As I grow older, I know that my skating style will develop and mature.

I don't know if there is any one secret to successful writing, but one important step is to move beyond imitation and discover what you can write that no one else can - that is, find out who you are and write that in an appropriate narrative and style.

The only time I would like to see was the 20s and 30s in America because I love the music and the style and the optimism, I wanted to see New York being built. I wanted to see all that, you know.

A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.

Radical Chic, after all, is only radical in Style; in its heart it is part of Society and its traditions.

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability, it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.

His style has the desperate jauntiness of an orchestra fiddling away for dear life on a sinking ship.

Peter, of the three of us, was our prince. He seemed so timeless. He had such elan and style.

The difference between style and fashion is quality.

Style? I have no style.

Style is the dress of thought; a modest dress, Neat, but not gaudy, will true critics please.

I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.

Because there is actually something very interesting in Goodfellas, how the style of the film changes as time goes by and based on the mental state of the protagonist.

Oh, never mind the fashion. When one has a style of one's own, it is always twenty times better.

Every top player has his own style, just as every painter has his own personal signature.

The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature.

Instead of the international police action we had hoped for during the war in Kosovo, there are wars again - conducted with state-of-the-art technology, but still in the old style.
