Frank [Zappa] was not a big fan of having lyrics, but sometimes he had things to say that lent themselves to lyrics.

I think ingenuity is part of our DNA. That plus curiosity, plus the willingness to commit.

Frank [Zappa]'s music was never for the mass audience. His music contains specific kinds of information that you won't find elsewhere in rock and roll.

I don't think there's a problem with people discovering the music unless there's no way to get to them. That's the problem that you always have.

When I put out the records, when I make a distribution deal, those distributors tell me who they sell it to and how many copies. So I want nothing less.

The problem with composers is that they are the most unrequired job in America.

When you have a single composer writing his work, it shouldn't be doled out in singles based on the length of a piece.
