Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!
B. B. King
No one can take it away from you.
B. B. King
There's a sadness to all kinds of music if you want to hear it. There's also happiness to it if you want to hear it.
B. B. King
I was born on a plantation, and things weren't so good. We didn't have any money. I never thought of the word 'poor' till I got to be a man, but when you live in a house that you can always peek out of and see what kind of day it is, you're not doing so well. And your restroom is not inside the house.
B. B. King
I gave you seven children, but now you want to give them back.
B. B. King
Playing guitar is like telling the truth.
B. B. King

B. B. King
I do it because I still get a kick out of it. I still love performing. It keeps me young.
B. B. King
Being a blues singer is like being black two times.
B. B. King
My mother was a very beautiful lady, I thought. She was very good to me. I guess - she died when I was nine and a half, but if she had lived I probably wouldn't be trying to play guitar. She wanted me to be known, but as something else. Not a guitar player.
B. B. King
I don't like anybody to be angry with me. I'd rather have friends.
B. B. King
Hard times don't necessarily mean being poor all the time. I've known people that was a part of a family and always feel that the family likes everybody else but them. That hurts and that's as deep a hurt as you can possibly get.
B. B. King
When I do eventually drop, I pray to God that it will happen in one of three ways. Firstly, on stage or leaving the stage, then secondly in my sleep. And the third way? You'll have to figure that out for yourself!
B. B. King
It's going to be years and years before most people realize how greatly he contributed to American music.
B. B. King
When you don't have much money, you worry that they'll just put you in the ground someplace and your loved ones won't know where you are.
B. B. King
You only live but once, and when your died your done, so let the good times roll.
B. B. King
Many people leave the country to see beautiful places. I just look out the window and see some of the most gorgeous scenery ever, right here in the USA.
B. B. King
You never miss what you've never had. I never had any other life. I didn't know any other life.
B. B. King
I'd rather be B.B. King. That's the way I started. Let the heavy metal guys play heavy metal, let the others play the other ... I try to do what I do better, not get away from it.
B. B. King
We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you're doing so.
B. B. King
