People see my current success but don't realize I've worked hard to get where I am. I used to clean garbage off the Philadelphia docks and put a lot of time into developing my music. Kevin Eubanks
In most places that are rich in guitar culture, everyone uses their fingers, like in Spain or Africa. In Japan there are string instruments played that way. It is not until you get in the States that you find people using picks. Kevin Eubanks
Kevin Eubanks quote: "I can pay my rent now. I guess I could always do that, but now..."
I can pay my rent now. I guess I could always do that, but now I can get an apartment with heat. Kevin Eubanks
To be completely stripped bare of any image power or my hair. To step onstage and get the response that I got blew any problems I had about self-image out the door. Melissa Etheridge
Meanwhile, politics is about getting a candidate in front of the public as a star, politics as rock'n'roll, politics as a movie. Joe Eszterhas
Emilio Estevez quote: "What does it take to get you to the point where you have to..."
