“Big wheels keep on turnin', proud Mary keep on burnin'...”
“I walked away because an artist has to have his own voice, even if the road is lonelier.”
“Success is great, but looking in the mirror and knowing you stayed true to yourself is better.”
“Play every show like it's the last time you'll ever hold a guitar.”
