“He did not care about anything, as long as he had that guitar, as long as he had cigarettes. There was always somewhere to stay, food always manifested somehow. He lived on less than nothing for a long, long time. And he allowed himself to have this incredible space, this time to devote to his craft. And he had no plan, either. This was just what he liked to do and this is what he was interested in. I don't think it ever occurred to him that he wouldn't be able to do whatever he wanted.”

“Usually we played tunes that lasted a long time because we like to play a lot. And when you're playing for people who are dancing and getting high - you can dance easy to a half-hour tune and you and even wonder why it ended so soon.”

“Europeans, being more confident of their station, were less inclined to tolerate such nonsense, although today virtually every important European merchant king - from Chanel to Gucci to Hermes to Cross to Vuitton to Turnbull & Asser - has embraced the sales philosophy employed by Enzo Ferrari from the beginning: treat an American like a hick and you'll own him for life.”

“You take a job, figuring you'll just keep it a little while, and that while keeps stretchin' on and on and on. You need a little more money before you can make a jump. You can't quite make up your mind about what you want to jump to. And then maybe you make a stab at it, you send off a few letters, and the people want to know what experience you've had - what you've been doin'. And probably they don't even want to bother with you, and if they do you've got to start right at the bottom, because you don't know anything. So you stay where you are, you just about got to, and you work pretty hard because you know it. You ain't young anymore and it's all you got.”
