I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft.

Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That's all it was curiosity.

I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.

Adolescence and early youth...the fires are burning fastest, right? And your energy level is highest. It demands...and rock is screaming type music.

The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.

All games contain the idea of death.

In the beginning we were creating our music, ourselves, every night . . . starting with a few outlines, maybe a few words for a song. Sometimes we worked out in Venice, looking at the surf. We were together a lot and it was good times for all of us. Acid, sun, friends, the ocean, and poetry and music.
