You've gotta blow the roof off of your heart and let the universe in.

I dreamed that I was young and smart, and it was not a waste. I dreamed that there was a point of life, and to the human race.

I love Ornette Coleman. I love Don Cherry. I love the way those guys play.

I take drugs just because in the 20th century in a technological age living in the city there are certain drugs you have to take just to keep yourself normal like a caveman. Just to bring yourself up or down, but to attain equilibrium you need to take certain drugs. They don't getcha high even, they just getcha normal.

I had started also studying because I wanted to learn more about power and fighting.

My God is rock'n'roll. It's an obscure power that can change your life. The most important part of my religion is to play guitar.

You're a musician: You play. That's what you do.
