I did a couple songs with this hip-hop guy named Tim Dark. He was working in the same studio I've been working in, he heard my music and he said, aw man, I've got to do something with you.

We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!

I always said I was never gonna be an entertainer, Suicide was never supposed to be entertainment.

That's what my music... I'm working on a solo record right now, it's gonna be more hip-hop than anything, like electronic hip-hop, futuristic hip-hop. I'm probably gonna be rapping on it.

I like performers who I know are for real. You can tell, man, there's an intensity about their stuff. You can tell right away they're real people, ya know?

But of course it's always gonna be Suicide, our fingerprints, ya know? You can't ever get rid of that.

Experience really does make you better, man.

We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it. There's nothing that can replace that.

That's why so much of the music today sounds so much alike, because there's no in-between. So it's kind of nice to still turn some buttons every now and then.

People said that way back in the early days I was probably one of the first rappers; the reason is that I couldn't sing, so I had to talk! Lou Reed was probably the one who started it all.

You're gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I'm starting to enjoy Eminem.

Create a world for yourself in which you can rest, until then stay restless.

Positive thoughts emanate when we are in a sate of joy and negative thoughts come when we are in a state of sorrow.

I've always kind of hated films about climate change.

If in the after life there is not music, we will have to import it.

Material success is not something that will bind you, unless you become attached to it, any more than poverty will liberate you.

In the real world there is no nature vs. nurture argument, only an infinitely complex and moment-by-moment interaction between genetic and environmental effects

The woman let out an expansive laugh that resounded through the house like a spray of broken glass.

Comics were a place where captivating images lit your imagination and showed you that you can create new kinds of people and worlds.

Sometimes we just have to cut off the dead branches in our life. Sometimes that's the only way we can keep the tree alive. It's hard and it hurts, but it's what's best.

If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
