Jimi Hendrix

I just want to make music that makes people happy.

I'm not trying to preach to anybody. I'm just trying to play my music.

It's a shame that the world has to be so messed up.

I don't think I'm a prophet. I'm just a guy who plays guitar.

I don’t want to be a clown anymore. I don’t want to be a 'rock and roll star'.

I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me.

I’m not sure I’ll live to be 28 years old.

The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye.

I don’t care about fame or fortune. I just wanna make music.

I wish they would just let me play my guitar and not make a big thing out of all this other stuff.

You have to be a masochist to be a guitar player.

I want to be a part of the world, not isolated from it.

I'm gonna be a musician, an actor, a writer, a poet, a painter... whatever I feel like doing.

It's funny how people change. You know, you get a little older, you get a little wiser, you get a little smarter, you get a little more money, you get a little more power, and then you forget about the people that helped you get there.

I don't play with my guitar, I play with my soul.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky.

The story of life is quicker than the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello and goodbye...until we meet again.

I'm a peacemaker, not a fighter. But if I have to fight, I'll fight.

I don't do drugs anymore. I just smoke a lot of weed.

I just want to be remembered as a good musician, not a freak.
