“I was just a very emotional player. I wore my emotions on my sleeve. I pretty much told you how I felt. I didn't mince words, so to speak. If I felt bad, I let you know that I felt bad. If I felt you were playing sorry, I told you. If I was playing sorry, I told myself that. I came from an era when losing really hurt. I didn't see anything good about it.” IfsKnowsSpeakFeltHurtEmotionPlayerEmotionalLosingSorryErasSleeves Author:Gary Clark, Jr.
“I grew up with synthesizers and weird, spacey music-hip-hop, R&B, modern rock-that I heard on the radio. That's influenced the way I play music. It's natural for me to go with what I feel. If I didn't let that other stuff out and stuck to a certain format, I would feel like I was missing out on something. I'm just enjoying my ride and being who I am.” IfsWayFeelsPlayCertainStuffEnjoyNaturalHeardModernRocksMissingGrewGrew UpHip HopRadioStuckWho I AmHipsHopsFormatMissing OutSynthesizers Author:Gary Clark, Jr.
“I grew up being a huge fan of Bruce Lee, and this quote always stuck out to me. He said, "Water can flow, or it can crash. If you put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot." It always made sense to me to adapt the flow and roll with whatever the situation is and to not think about it too much and get caught up in it. It works easier for me that way.” IfsThinkingWayMadeSaidWaterSituationToo MuchFansHugeGrewEasierGrew UpFlowCaughtStuckCrashCaught UpTeapots Author:Gary Clark, Jr.

“My mom always told me I should have a Plan B. I said that if I'm not going to play guitar I'm going to play drums. And if I'm not going to play drums, I'm going to play bass.
