Beatle bones and smokin' stones the dry sands fall.

I'd never just want to do what everybody else did. I'd be contributing to the sameness of everything.

Bob Dylan impresses me about as much as... well, I was gonna say a slug but I like slugs.

Johnny Rotten. He's a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he'd stand up and holler. He's funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don't think he's a jerk because he isn't.

You can tell by the kindness of a dog how a human should be.

There are only forty people in the world and five of them are hamburgers.

A carrot is as close as a rabbit gets to a diamond.

It's not worth getting into the bullshit to see what the bull ate.

I don't want to sell my music. I'd like to give it away because where I got it, you didn't have to pay for it.

I like the blues..... but I like aqua marine just as much.

Art is rearranging and grouping mistakes.

And just when I though things were starting to get better, everything had gone wrong again.

I sound contemptuous, but I am not. I am interested--intrigued even--by the way time erases real lives, leaving only vague imprints. Blood and spirit fade away so that only names and dates remain.

I love being a Met. It was my favorite team growing up, so to be a Met to me is very special.

I have a wife, I have sons; all these hostages have I given to fortune.

Fortune is like the market, where, many times, if you can stay a little, the price will fall.

The sun will soon be setting, and corpses make poor company by night. These were dark and dangerous men, alive. I doubt that death will have improved them.

I'm an artist...The difference is that I don't tell anybody. I refuse to give them new reasons to laugh at me.

The hardest and worst interview that I have ever done was with Frank Zappa.

We need to stop apologizing for celebrating life. We need to stop apologizing for wanting to protect an individual's right to build a business.
