I don't think artists are made, I think they're born.

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.

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.

Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.

You get to a certain age, where you know you can't go over the wall, but I'll never get to the age where I can't go through it.

One always has to spoil a picture a little bit, in order to finish it.

I only read on my phone and the whole "let's see if we can get people to do it" idea seems less "wouldn't it be cool if we could get people to do it" and more "what else would people do."

I believe that I am a hat designer, not a milliner.

Teach me, 0 God, not to torture myself, not to make a martyr out of myself through stifling reflection, but rather teach me to breathe deeply in faith.

We should have been wiser; we should have died yesterday.
