I like any reaction I can get with my music. Just anything to get people to think. I mean if you can get a whole room full of drunk, stoned people to actually wake up and think, you're doing something.

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.

Los Angeles is a city looking for a ritual to join its fragments, and The Doors are looking for such a ritual also. A kind of electric wedding. We hide ourselves in the music to reveal ourselves.

No one gets out of here alive.

Time to live, time to lie, time to laugh, and time to die. Take it easy baby. Take it as it comes.

The best songs come unasked for. You don't have to think about them . . . Summer is good for songs. When it's real warm, if you have a sense of freedom, not a lot on your mind, and a feeling there's plenty of time, it just seems to be a good climate for music.

The gate is straight, Deep and wide, Break on through to the other side...
