If you die and enough people are watching, then you become a martyr, you become a hero, you become well-known.

Ultimately, because I'm an artist, I can't ever consider myself a nihilist, so I suppose I'm optimistic.

Libido, fascination, too much oral defecation. White trash get down on your knees, time for cake and sodomy.

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.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm a character being written, or if I'm writing myself.

Christians are a lot like dinosaurs - about to become extinct.

That becomes the revolution, to be idealistic enough that you think you can change the world, and what you find is you can't change anything but yourself.
