I've noticed that when people are joking they're usually dead serious, and when they're serious, they're usually pretty funny.

I wonder why people like to believe I'm high all the time. I guess . . . maybe they think someone else can take their trip for them.

My great joy is to give form to reality. Music is a great release, a great enjoyment to me. Eventually I'd like to write something of great importance. That's my ambition - to write something worthwhile.

I think, in these days, especially in the States, you have to be a politician or an assassin or something, to really be a superstar.

That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.

I'm kind of hooked to the game of art and literature; my heroes are artists and writers.

I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then - whoosh, and I'm gone... and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me - ever.
