I Was Originally Like A Punker, Know

I Wanna Show That Gospel, Country, Blues, Rhythm And Blues, Jazz, Rock 'n' Roll Are All Just Really One Thing. Those Are The American Music And That Is The American Culture.

I'm Not A Bourgeois Person, Never Will Be.

My Mother Always Told Me, Even If A Song Has Been Done A Thousand Times, You Can Still Bring Something Of Your Own To It. I'd Like To Think I Did That.

I Don't Care Who's Playing. Even If It's My Favorite Artist, I'm Probably Not Gonna Go And See Him.

People Always Say 'etta, You Know What Your Problem Is? You're Neither Fish Nor Fowl. There Is No Place To Rack You.' When I Would Go In A Record Shop, You Might Find One Or Two Records By Me In Different Stacks.
