ebb-and-flow people understanding
I'm in the trenches; I do the best work I can always do. Having said that, the way that what I do converges with the outside world is fascinating to me. Because it ebbs and flows. People's interest and understanding, it changes all the time.
looked people
When I was a kid, I always looked up to people like B.B. King and Ray Charles.
century changed music
Late 20th century music was a really important thing. It changed the world, and I'm part of that, and now I'm part of the museum that celebrates that.
music people sound
I think there are people who really always have and always will care about the quality of music in general, about the sound of the music, things like that.

I think an artist's true worth comes through an inter-generational thing - when you go beyond your own time, and start influencing people in a greater way than just what surrounds you.
front layered piece playing work
When you're playing in front of people, everything is external. It's all going from you out to an audience. When you're in a studio, it's very internalised, it's going from the air through you into this meticulously crafted, layered piece of work.
I'm a born collaborator. This is what I was born to do, really.
I'm very enthused about everything. I have a lot to say and a lot of things I'm interested in.
funny humor
I've got a sense of humor. I'm a funny guy.
biggest major won year
The biggest honor of my career was when I won R&B Artist of the Year back in the 1970s. I look at that as a major honor.

extreme
You externalise extreme emotions, and you look at them objectively and understand them from a different standpoint.
gives hope respect younger
The younger generation gives me more respect than I could ever hope for.
