Stevie Ray Vaughan

I wanted to play saxophone, but all I could get were a few squeaks.

I actually wanted to be a drummer, but I didn't have any drums.

I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn't death.

Being down in Orlando, Florida, where we filmed the movie, I learned how to bass fish. Jerry Reed, who plays the villain in the movie, taught me how to bass fish.

I played with Willie Mays and against Hank Aaron. They were tremendous players, but they were no Josh Gibson.

No good work is ever done while the heart is hot and anxious and fretted.
