  • Man has done a lot to make himself dangerous and animals get the worst of all of it. But then, man too is an animal.

  • 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.

  • Bob Dylan impresses me about as much as... well, I was gonna say a slug but I like slugs.

  • I live in a Mobile Home - I've never had a house, except once; I rented a log cabin.

  • I don't look like a desert person because I stay indoors most of the day and fool around at night. That's what the desert animals do - they don't have a tan either.

  • The wind is a very difficult sound to get. It's always changing.

  • An audience can really lift you right up off the stage.

  • I'd never just want to do what everybody else did. I'd be contributing to the sameness of everything.

  • If you want to be a different fish, jump out of school.

  • I think most people try to get others to see through their eyes.

  • I think Shakespeare is really the one. Words as music and music as words. Everything he wrote was good, which is really frightening.

  • I needed to purge myself of all the attention my parents had given me - I wasn't neglected enough as a child.

  • But I have been in some very beautiful churches, then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death.

  • The stars are matter, We're matter, But it doesn't matter.

  • You can almost judge how screwed up somebody is by the kind of toilet paper they use. Go in any rich house and it's some weird coloured embossed stuff.

  • I'd rather play a tune on a horn, but I've always felt that I didn't want to train myself. Because when you get a train, you've got to have an engine and a caboose. I think it's better to train the caboose. You train yourself, you strain yourself.

  • When I see a dolphin, I know it's just as smart as I am.
