I get up every morning and read the obituary column. If my name's not there, I eat breakfast.

When I die I intend to take my music with me. I don't know what's out there, but I want to make sure it's in my key.

Young. Old. Just Words.

Sex has been around for a long time. You may not believe this, but it was around before I was.

If I paid ten dollars for a cigar, first I'd make love to it, then I'd smoke it.

When they saw me walking down the street smoking a cigar, they'd say, 'Hey, that 14-year-old kid may be going places.' Of course it's also a good prop on the stage ... When you can't think of what you're supposed to say next, you can puff on your cigar until you think of your next line.

I did go to school - my kind of school. When I was a kid I went out ... and you meet people. You talk to them. Anybody says something that makes sense, it stays with you, rubs off on you. That kind of school.
