I have been to lots of parties and acted perfectly disgraceful but I never actually collapsed oh Lana Turner we love you get up

O my enormous piano, you are not like being outdoors

oh god it’s wonderful to get out of bed and drink too much coffee and smoke too many cigarettes and love you so much

I am the least difficult of men. All I want is boundless love.

Now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again, and interesting, and modern.

the only truth is face to face, the poem whose words become your mouth and dying in black and white we fight for what we love, not are

Grace / to be born and live as variously as possible

And always embrace things, people earth sky stars, as I do, freely and with the appropriate sense of space.

Oh! kangaroos, sequins, chocolate sodas! / You really are beautiful! Pearls, / harmonicas, jujubes, aspirins!

I don't think I want to win anything I think I want to die unadorned.

And don't worry about your lineage poetic or natural.

Sacred being is beauty.

Loneliness is that feeling to understand your own Self

The shortest path between two truths in the real domain passes through the complex domain.

If I see a problem (in the clubhouse), I say something right away. I don't wait two or three days.

It's always fun when you don't have to trot your stuff out, especially as a young guy.

In Europe, they like everything you do. The mistakes and everything. That's a little bit too much.

People used to be funny about approaching me, but now they seem to think I'm as sane as anyone who's done what I've done in movies can be.

I'm trying to change the root of funk, trying to make it more progressive, more melodic and more lyrically structured.

I'm not a knee-jerk conservative. I passionately believe in free markets and less government, but not to the point of being a libertarian.

A system in which we may have an enforced rest from legislation for two years is not bad.
