Les Paul

“To this day, I don't know what a hit is. I think a hit is a song that's liked by a lot of people.”

“The world is waiting for new music, new sounds, and new ideas.”

“Now I can't think of anything more wonderful than a guitar.”

“People hear the music, but they don't see the bleeding fingers.”

“No matter how old you get, if you can keep the desire to be creative, you're keeping the man-child alive.”

“You can't go to the store and buy a good ear and a good idea.”

“I learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one.”

“The guitar is a very personal instrument. It's one that you can press to your heart.”

“What I'm after is a sound that's in my head. I'm not playing for other people, I'm playing for myself.”

“I never stop being a kid. I never stop feeling. And I never stop wondering.”

“The world is your oyster. It's up to you to find the pearls.”

“The minute you think you're good, you're dead.”

“I wanted to make the guitar sound like a horn.”

“In the end, it's all about the song.”

“I was always trying to make things better.”

“Of course, I'm a perfectionist. I can't help it. I'm a Leo.”

“Everybody has a right to like or dislike anything or anyone.”
