Johnny [Depp] got this rock 'n' roll old soul to him. If I say a song, he goes, 'Oh yeah. I know that song.' A song he shouldn't know, a song that's not his generation at all. So he might as well have been there.

That's like making fun of a maniac because his brain isn't completely right, because he isn't in the norm.

Everybody was at the top of their game at that point, in the early '70s.

Some maniac butcher is trying to hack away your balls.

If it's total freedom, I guess the ultimate thing you can go into is total silence between the audience and performer, with the performer projecting something he doesn't even have to play.

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

Give me lace and whiskey, Mama's own remedy.
