Its like if you take acid, it burns out brain cells and they dont regrow. Rock is like that-it has killed beautiful people musically, physically and mentally.

There is so little time for us all; I need to be able to say what I want quickly and to as many people as possible.

Time passes so slowly if you are unaware of it and so quickly if you are aware of it.

I live my life with a sense of urgency that most people cant comprehend.

All rock musicians are deaf... Or insensitive to mellow sounds.

Sometimes I get a funny feeling inside me that I shan't be here very long, and I'm not talking in terms of things like success. It frightens me sometimes

Our lives are merely trees of possibilities.

I want fun now, life is here to enjoy, not to complicate and make difficult.

If God were to appear in my room, obviously I would be in awe, but I don't think I would be humble. I might cry, but I think he would dig me like crazy.

A lot of people don't know about music, but buy records. A lot of people that know about music can't afford to buy records.

With my Les Paul, I know I'm small. But I enjoy living anyway.

So dawn goes down today... Nothing gold can stay.-- Robert Frost

Envy-Thy art blindness

I can never remember things I didn't understand in the first place.

The oppression of women knows no ethnic nor racial boundaries, true, but that does not mean it is identical within those boundaries.

It is better to invert reality than to copy it.

I don't like people who hide things.

I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous.

There is no book of mine that I reject. That does not mean that I find them good.

This withdrawal from the day's turmoil into creative silence is not a luxury, a fad, or a futility. It dissolves mental tensions and heals negative emotions.

Stillness of person and steadiness of features are signal marks of good breeding.
