More quotes by B. B. King
I wanted to connect my guitar to human emotions.
B. B. King
When you heard Jimi Hendrix, you knew it was Jimi Hendrix. He introduced himself with his instrument. His attack to a guitar man, was, oh, something else! You think of one of the great American ball players, or one of the great fighters of the world, you know, that's the way he would attack any note on his guitar.
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
I guess you can look at me, and tell I'm the old man. My name is BB King.
B. B. King
There are so many sounds I still want to make, so many things I haven't yet done.
B. B. King
I think of guitar players in terms of doctors: you have the doctor for your heart, the cardiologist, then one that works on your feet, your leg. But I believe George Benson is the one that plays all over. To me, he would be the M.D. of them all.
B. B. King
I can't afford no liquor, all I can buy is beer and wine.
B. B. King
Notes are expensive... spend them wisely
B. B. King
The crowds treat me like my last name. When I go onstage people usually stand up, I never ask them to, but they do. They stand up and they don't know how much I appreciate it.
B. B. King
Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!
B. B. King
I'm self-taught. But I finally learned that they was having little shows or night dances or whatever you call them at little juke joints not far from where I lived, and I used to go there. They wouldn't let me play inside, but I could sit outside on the weekends, when it wasn't raining or something.
B. B. King
We are here because there are things that need our help. Like the planet. Like each other. Like animals. The world is like a garden, and we are its protectors.
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
No one can take it away from you.
B. B. King
Music is good for everybody. They say it soothes the savage beast. Well, I think theirs a beast in all of us. So let's get some more music and soothe all the beasts out there.
B. B. King
I've always liked ladies all my life. I guess it started with my mom. So every time I saw a pretty lady, I thought, she's pretty.
B. B. King
I've been married twice. Most women would rather not be married to a traveling blues singer
B. B. King
I call myself a blues singer, but you ain't never heard me call myself a blues guitar man.
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
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
