John Lee Hooker's Quotes

I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune.

John Lee Hooker

Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it.

John Lee Hooker

I've got enough money to live me two lifetimes so I don't have to do nothing I don't want to.

John Lee Hooker

I have heartaches, I have blues. No matter what you got, the blues is there. 'Cause that's all I know - the blues. And I can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and I can give you the blues.
