About Jimi Hendrix
|
| |
"There's a famous story about Pete Townshend calling up Eric Clapton after he saw Hendrix. He told him, 'This guy is gonna put us out of business!'.
What a stupid thing for him to say. No one has a monopoly on talent. There's enough room for everyone."

On singing Christian music:
|
| |
"Technically I am a Christian singer and all my songs are Christian songs. They just aren't all about God. I think that would be really annoying to Him. It's like following Him around all day saying, 'You're so great, You're so great.' Eventually He's gonna turn around and say, 'Hey, buddy- don't you have a book you can go read or something?'"

About LIFE & the future:
|
| |
"I've been a little worried about what will happen to me with no formal schooling, but I suppose I'll always get along. I'd be a lot happier playing for $50 a week in some coffee house than $300 a week with a fat car and house having to sit behind some damn desk. I just want to be happy with my friends and my music. What else is there?" -Journal 1972
