I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.

When I saw that combination of grace and power, the fast and the soft, the yin and the yang, that's what I'd been looking for.

How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?

I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood, just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar with their tribe of mutant inbred piglets.

I think it's pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.

I'm too old to do things by half

People didn't know certain things about me, which... I was out of creative writing class in school, Syracuse University; had a B.A. in English and wanted to write the great American novel but I also loved rock and roll. I was in bar bands all through college, playing fraternities and have to know all the songs in the top 10. That kind of thing.
