Spring and fall, those are very inspiring times of the year for me.

I am the flying saucer man from another world trapped on yours until they come to rescue me. One day the saucer will land. Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane will open the hatch and tell me to get in before someone tries to blow up the ship. I'll just ask what took them so long. Within seconds we'll be out of here.

Don't go to summer camp. Bury your parents in the backyard and have the place to yourself.

In blues music, there's a lot of borrowing, so it's often difficult to identify the originator of a song.

Discipline is money in the bank. A real friend, true strength.

I think I am the most impressed with writing styles that defy category, like Kharms or Selby, Breton or Jarry, where you become as interested in the writer as much as the writing itself. It's all these things that make reading so appealing to me.

So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.
