Jimi Hendrix

I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.

Technically, I'm not a guitar player, all I play is truth and emotion.

I try all night to play a pretty note.

The story of life is quicker then the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, goodbye.

It's time for a new National Anthem. America is divided into two definite divisions. The easy thing to cop out with is sayin' black and white. You can see a black person. But now to get down to the nitty-gritty, it's getting' to be old and young - not the age, but the way of thinking. Old and new, actually... because there's so many even older people that took half their lives to reach a certain point that little kids understand now.

... with Voodoo Child somebody was filming when we started doing that. We did that about three times because they wanted to film us in the studio, to make us (imitates a pompous voice) 'make it look like you're recording boys' - one of them scenes, you know, so okey, let's play this and then we went into Voodoo Child

Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.

White collar conservative flashin' down the street,_x000D_ Pointing that plastic finger at me,_x000D_ Hoping soon my kind will drop and die,_x000D_ But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high.

I wouldn't say that I'm the greatest guitarist ever. I'd say probably that I'm the greatest guitarist sitting in this chair.

A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.

Knowledge talks, wisdom listens.

I'd like to get something together - like a Handel, Bach, Muddy waters, flamenco type of thing. If I could get that sound, I'd be happy

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes.

Manic depression's touching my soul. I know what I want, but I just don't know how to go about getting it.

My own thing is in my head. I hear sounds and if I don't get them together nobody else will.

Don't use your brain to play it, let your feelings guide your fingers.

The Telecaster has two sounds - a good one and a bad one.

If the mountains fell in the sea, Let it be, it ain't me. Got my own world to live through And I ain't gonna copy you. Now, if 6 turned up to be 9, I don't mind, I don't mind. If all the hippies cut off their hair, I don't care, I don't care. Did, 'cos I got my own world to live through And I ain't gonna copy you.

I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.

Drifting, On a sea of forgotten teardrops, On a lifeboat, Sailing for Your love
