How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?

I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.

I'm not joking around when I've said occasionally, trying to learn how to play a D chord properly has been a very big thing for me.

Take a walk on the wild side.

One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz.

Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful.

Perfect Night has that magic and it has the raw energy that grabs you by the throat.

Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.

Life's like a mayonnaise soda.

These are really terribly rough times, and we really should try to be as nice to each other as possible.

Devotion to goal, knowing your purpose and calling helps you go through pain, hindrance and crisis

We've been insufferable friends for years.

The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art. If you try to run away from it, if you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost

Sometimes I feel like a complete kid when I'm running around with my friends being stupid for a week, and then sometimes I just want to sit in my house and sip tea and watch old movies like I'm 60.

I've always known a lot of very bad people, destructive, brutes of a certain kind. Then I've seen these lovely impulses and what not, and they've stayed with me and comforted me.
