The key to The Doors is the culture behind the myth.

The 2 things I like the most are girls and loud noises.

I kinda feel like everything comes full circle in life, even though that's a cliche.

I try to beat back the producers and engineers so they - there's not an excess of stuff used to squeeze my voice to make it artificial. There's a person in there, and people will listen; if they hear another person speak to them, they'll listen because it's lonely out here.

I'm not the kind of person who could join AA or have rules for myself or on Thursday take this vitamin pill. So, basically, I learned the hard way. I learned by trial and error, and tried to get drugs out of my work. That took about a year. If I was going to work, it was best that I be straight. And I was surprised at what came out.

It is very important what not to do.

I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.
