I never say never about anything.

Miami is nothing like me, and thats why I need to be here - its the opposite. Im practical, where this place is moody, Im stolid in my interior, where this place has a certain flair, and Im materialistic in a sense that this place is fundamentally spiritual - theres a quicksilver quality about this place.

Onstage I've been hit by a grapefruit, beercans, eggs, spit, money, cigarette butts, Mandies, Quaaludes, joints, bras, panties, and a fist.

When it comes to art, money is an unimportant detail. It just happens to be a huge unimportant detail.

I smoked this joint and then it hit me. I thought, what you gotta do is play your own simply blues.

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

The most successful stuff is sold to you as indispensable social information. The message in the music is, 'We are terribly, terribly slick and suave, and if you listen to us, you can probably get a leg up in society, too.'
