Every place on earth has a frequency. It's not good or bad, it's just the way it is, and if you can attune yourself to that frequency, then you can find comfort in that.

I was 14 or 15 when I discovered poetry, and I pretty much stopped writing prose until Master of Reality.

From a very young age, I was the kind of kid you can just put anywhere and I'd still find stuff to be stoked about.

It's hard always to say what it is one likes about a place, for me. I feel it.

Normal adult shopping is something I will never actually do, because it's no more possible for me to go shopping like normal adults do than it is for a man with no legs to wake up one day and walk. I can't miss shopping like you'd miss things you once had. I miss it in a different way. I miss it like you would miss a train.

The possibility of disaster remains horrific to me. Like when you know everything's about to go wrong in a way that's not controllable or knowable.

At 23, you can completely, literally reinvent yourself if you want to.
