“When you’re creating your own shit, man, even the sky ain’t the limit.”

“It’s like, how did Columbus discover America when the Indians were already here? What kind of shit is that, but white people’s shit?”

“WE WERE ALL UP IN THAT SHIT LIKE A MUTHAFUCKA. IT'S CLEANER THAN A BROKE DICK DOG.”

“It's not about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change.”

“Man, sometimes it takes you a long time to sound like yourself.”

“I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-ass cat named Steve Miller. Steve Miller didn't have his shit going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing motherfucker just because he had one or two sorry-ass records out. So I would come late and he would have to go on first and then we got there we smoked the motherfucking place, everybody dug it.”

“I know what I’ve done for music, but don’t call me “a legend”.(…) A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I’m still doing it.”
