Anyone I may have used should feel happy that they even had a use. It's better than being useless.

You'll understand when I'm dead.

It's shocking to me that it's easier to buy a gun at Wal-Mart than it is to buy my record.

Marilyn Monroe wasn't even her real name, Charles Manson isn't his real name, and now, I'm taking that to be my real name. But what's real? You can't find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.

I can't go to sleep at night if I didn't accomplish at least something. That's the one thing that keeps me up.

For me, it's never been an ego situation where I have been "I'm the boss; expletive you." It's always been a situation where someone comes to me and says "I can't tolerate working with you anymore" and I would admit sometimes I wouldn't blame them for that. But I also sometimes think I'm not that difficult to figure out. I don't really know what has driven people to be so angry and bitter - people like my old keyboard player Pogo, who I've known for such a long time. I feel bad for him, but there are grievances with everything.
