I've become completely well adjusted to being a cult figure.

To debate political objectives, views, and goals is the most American thing conceivable.

The only thing constantly changing is change, and change is always changing for the worse.

I wanna hear some Diana Ross, I wanna hear some Marvin Gaye. I wanna hear a song that reminds me of a better day.

It's interesting to have a conglomeration of people that covers the strata from A to Z... There's a certain element of the audience that's intellectually oriented, into the lyrics... then there's another element of the audience that's into a sex trip. I'm into both of them.

I don't know what goes on in the crowd. I've had them show up and throw beer cans at me. I caused riots in most of the major cities.

It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print.
