I would have had to have a ghost writer because I don't have that gift, ... She has the gift to sit down with a pen, and, as the reader, you can smell the house, taste the food, feel the lips when you get a kiss. I salute her. I always knew she could do it, and I am glad that she is in it now.

The producer had to stop recording and wait for me to compose myself, ... There are quite a few places in my memoir that I don't read again and don't read out loud at appearances. It's interesting. You can write it down and even work with it in writing, but speaking your words out into the world has a different kind of power.

Carlos Santana 99 quotes

Realize that when you get older, you either get senile or become gracious. There's no in-between. You become senile when you think the world short-changed you, or everybody wakes up to screw you. You become gracious when you realize that you have something the world needs, and people are happy to see you when you come into the room.

He (understood) from a child the simplicity of complex music and the complexity of simple music. He has something that I don't have, which is perfect pitch. He knows what key everything is by hearing it once.

Obviously she saw something that was workable to get past all the other stuff, ... I feel very honored and very grateful to be her friend and her partner.

That's a good question. I say it every day in interviews and when I'm on stage, and people say, how come he doesn't just play and be quiet? You have a Fox network that says celebrities shouldn't have opinions.

Your wrinkles either show that you're nasty, cranky, and senile, or that you're always smiling.

Carlos Santana 99 quotes
