You can't criticize Bob Dylan's singing. You have to respect Billy Joel as a brilliant poet. You can't tell me there's a better rock band ever than Led Zeppelin. And if you speak during the Eagles' "Last Resort," we're done. I'm just asking for seven minutes. This stuff really matters, you know.

I'm tired of ignoring that I march to a different beat.

I knew if I got loaded I was going away for a while. People would say, Oh, you're just sober because you're on probation.

You can't not be a little different from others and be successful for three decades.

You can have rules at home that are different from the rest of the world's as long as you're not hurting anyone.

I don't have time for their judgement and their stupidity and you know they lay down with their ugly wives in front of their ugly children and look at their loser lives and then they look at me and they say, 'I can't process it' well, no, you never will stop trying, just sit back and enjoy the show. You know?

Dying is for fools. I'm proud of what I created. I exposed people to magic. I exposed people to things they would never see in their normal lives.
