No matter what you do or say, there's nothing that you can do to make people understand you.

dreaming of the person you want to be is wasting the person you already are.

I'd like to live off the band, but if not, I'll just retire to Mexico or Yugoslavia with a few hundred dollars, grow potatoes, and learn the history of rock through back issues of Creem magazine.

I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman; I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

It's really not hard to keep your dignity and sign to a major label... Most people don't have any dignity in the first place.

I like guitars in the Fender style because they have skinny necks.

I've never been a very prolific person, so when creativity flows, it flows. I find myself scribbling on little notepads and pieces of loose paper, which results in a very small portion of my writings to ever show up in true form.
