Oh, I love to lie. That's one of my favorite things in the world, coming up to somebody, especially press people, and telling them some enormous lie that couldn't possibly be true.

When I moved to L. A. with this little wimpy garage band, the first people we met were the Doors. Then we met Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin. All of the people who died of excess were our big brothers and sisters. So I said to myself: How do you become a legend and enjoy it? The answer is to create a character as legendary as those guys and leave that character on the stage.

It used to be said: As GM goes, so goes America. Now it's: As Starbucks goes, so goes America.

Love's a loaded gun and it shoots to kill.

If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are.

I have never made fun of religion. Religion is something I don't even want to mess with, because I am really afraid of the clouds opening up and my being struck by lightning.

Why don't you pass the gun around and give everyone a shot.
