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.

I don't like getting out when I could be painting. And when I'm painting, I don't want anybody else around.

Millions of people can draw. Art is whether there is a scream in you wanting to get out in a special way.

We have a legal and moral obligation to rid our world of nuclear tests and nuclear weapons.

I'm a competitive person.

Harmony can not thrive in a climate of mistrust, cheating, bullying; mean-spirited competition.

If I didn't have a conviction that a serious painter can portray Nature more profoundly than the best colour photography, I'd probably give it all up or go abstract or take up photography.

There is only one path to Heaven. On Earth, we call it Love.

Perverted pride is a great misfortune in men; but pride in its original function, for which God created it, is indispensable to a proper manhood.

The Red Army is like a furnace in which all captured soldiers are melted down and transformed the moment they come over.

Former Olympians also get paid to make appearances. Many of them won their medals in an era when Olympic success didn't go hand-in-hand with financial success.

I loved horror since I was a kid.
