Ginger Baker quotes:

If I am playing any music at all it is jazz music.

They credited us with the birth of that sort of heavy metal thing. Well, if that's the case, there should be an immediate abortion.

In West Virginia, we're all family. We know how firefighters and policemen honor their own and we feel our miners deserve to be honored in a similar way.

People say Cream gave birth to heavy metal. If that's so, we should have had an abortion.

I think the American government is now the most corrupt government in the world.

I have never taken more than two weeks to record an album throughout my career.

God is punishing me for my past wickedness by keeping me alive and in as much pain as he can.

I have never had a great love of the music business, I never have.

I'd rather play jazz, I hate rock and roll.

I'm amazed that I can still play really. But I can.

It happens to us quite often-it feels as though I'm not playing my instrument, something else is playing it and that same thing is playing all three of our instruments. That's what I mean when I say it's frightening sometimes. Maybe we'll all play the same phrase out of nowhere. It happens very often with us.
