Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.

I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.

In my early days, I never used finger vibrato at all. I originally carved my reputation as one of the 'fast' guitar players.

I've never really been somebody who likes to hit it straight. That's just never been my forte, I guess.

The Rat Pack was the piece that really kicked me out of that little funk that I was in and then Ted called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the dad in Blow.
