I obviously use computers. My car is wondrous. My phone is amazing. I've already talked about the music I'm digitizing. Technology is fantastic, of course.

An unlocked door means that, occasionally, you might get a devil come in, but a locked door means you have thousands of angels just walk by.

If You Want To Rebel Against Society, Don’t Dull The Blade

I just have work to do; I just do it.

It's so interesting that humanity has to be defined by emotional strife or something. I don't buy into that.

I never imagine myself as anything. I've never had a goal or any future vision at all. I just do what's in front of me.

The American underground punk scene, though, is a story worth remembering.

I'm always happy when I hear about people selling records or selling books or selling movies. It makes me proud of them.

To me, music is no joke and it's not for sale.

Hey, you're going to hurt someone if you keep doing that!!!

I keep quite busy, walk 5 miles a day, and have an excellent hairdresser who keeps the gray out of my red hair.

It's time for fathers to war for their kids more than the culture wars for your kids.

My keepers, why keepers, I'm in no danger of stirring an inch, ah I see, it's to make me think I'm a prisoner, frantic with corporeality, rearing to get out and away.

The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.

Why is it that there's more indignation over a photo of a prisoner with underwear on his head than over the video of a young American with no head at all?
