I got to see all these incredible blues players, like Jimmy Reed.

One of the first groups we signed was the Fifth Dimension.

The first time I went to New York, I met Alan Freed.

I'd gone through periods where I didn't work live performances for probably seven or eight months at a time.

The web site and the Internet are a whole new ball game.

After that initial success, every chance we got we'd hire that remote recording truck and just record stuff at the Whisky because it was so inexpensive.

I was working at this club in downtown L.A. from four to eight at night, just Eddie Rubin, the drummer, and I.

I think my favorite album was probably Realization.

My first really good guitar was a Gibson J-45.

What I really remember is that people camped out everywhere, and the fact everybody expected it might turn into a big nightmare with all sorts of hassles because back in those days everybody was smoking pot and taking acid.

I loved playing and I was actually working two jobs.

Alan's publishing company was in the Brill Building, and of course, the Brill Building was where all the songwriters hung out because that's where all the publishers were.

About two months into the Whisky, I borrowed some money and rented a remote recording truck.

The first amp I had back in the '50s was a small Fender.

I learned some chords and I started watching anybody I could, once I really got into it.

Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music.

I've got a Fender Concert amp from the '60s, the one Joe Osborn used. He played his bass through it.

Even Woodstock turned out to be a disaster. Everybody was stuck in the mud and people got sick.

Jack and I usually get together and sit around in the afternoons and start throwing ideas around.

But I always loved songs with great lyrics.

One thing will lead to another and somebody will come up with a riff or a line or something we build from.

In early '57, I bought a Fender Telecaster.

I think after 1970 or so, after I sold Soul City, I took off for awhile and didn't do too many gigs.

In 1965, Gibson made the red one I use now, and a black one, which was the first black 335 they ever made.

When I came back to California in the early '60s I was hanging out with Jimmy Bowen, Phil Spector, and I wanted to be a record producer and work with other artists.

I accepted an offer to do a concert for the reopening of the Mall of Memphis.

I don't regret the things I've done, but those I did not do.

Networking is an enrichment program, not an entitlement program.

You can only be as good as you dare to be bad.

I don't think about what other people want from me.

I started in the mailroom, literally, as an intern... in 1974. The legislator I was working for at the time said, 'I want you to get your law degree and come back here and get elected and be the first woman governor.' I kind of took that guy seriously - I thought that sounded like a pretty good idea.

I think the 'Law of Attraction' comes from a rich, white, privileged perspective.

You need to feel like you're wearing the clothes, and they're not wearing you.

One way to prevent conversation from being boring is to say the wrong thing.

I've probably given myself enough time to prepare for this meet and we're all different athletes so I can't take their results as what's going to be inevitable for me.

It is more likely that more than a century will pass before we know the structure of the chemical atoms as thoroughly as we do our solar system.

The moment we set off in search of love, it sets off in search of us. And saves us.

When someone is properly grounded in life they shouldnt have to look outside themselves for approval.

I do my own stunts; that's something I'm very passionate about. I spent a lot of time on boats as a kid, so it's just nice to be able to put that into use in the job that I do.

I continue to care for President Obama and for his family. I think that in many ways they are very courageous people, and I honor that, because I know what it means to live as a black person in a racist America.

Trump would represent turmoil - unless he changed, unless he said, 'Now that I got to be president, I'm gonna be normal.'

Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul.

The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.

Homework is a best workbut if human hate it its a worst work.

Updating passwords and changing them all the time is something I'm involved in.

There is no reason why a nation as rich as ours should be blighted by poverty, disease, and illiteracy.

You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.

AOL was a roller coaster ride. I was lucky and privileged to be a part of it, both the ups and the downs.
