I try to use my music to move these people to act.

I wish they'd had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would've been straightened out.

I'm gonna put a curse on you and all your kids will be born completely naked.

I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.

If I'm free, it's because I'm always running.

Music is a safe kind of high.
– Jimi Hendrix
Music is a safe type of high. It's more the way it was supposed to be. That's where highness came, I guess, from anyway. It's nothing but rhythm and motion.
– Jimi Hendrix
Music is my religion.
– Jimi Hendrix
Music is the most important thing. I'm thinking of my future. There has to be something new, and I want to be part of it. I want to lead an orchestra with excellent musicians. I want to play music which draws pictures of the world and its space.
– Jimi Hendrix
Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.
– Jimi Hendrix
My goal is to be one with the music. I just dedicate my whole life to this art.

Rock is so much fun. That's what it's all about - filling up the chest cavities and empty kneecaps and elbows.

The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.

When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.

When things get too heavy, just call me helium, the lightest known gas to man.
– Jimi Hendrix
White collar conservative flashin down the street, pointing that plastic finger at me, they all assume my kind will drop and die, but I'm gonna wave my freak flag high.
– Jimi Hendrix
You have to forget about what other people say, when you're supposed to die, or when you're supposed to be loving. You have to forget about all these things.
– Jimi Hendrix
You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.
– Jimi Hendrix
You don't have to be singing about love all the time in order to give love to the people. You don't have to keep flashing those words all the time.

When I played God Bless The Queen, I was wondering if they was gonna dig us, then quite naturally I'd go on and try to get it together.

The reflection of the world is blues, that's where that part of the music is at. Then you got this other kind of music that's tryin' to come around.

My nature just changes.
– Jimi Hendrix
It's funny the way most people love the dead. Once you are dead, you are made for life.

I was trying to do too many things at the same time, which is my nature. But I was enjoying it, and I still do enjoy it.
