I had a handful of records, but when I was 11 years old, I liked Puccini as much as Little Richard. They both made sense to me.

I think the film [Dream of Life] is life-affirming.

Truthfully, I don't really think of myself as a photographer. I don't have all the disciplines and knowledge of a person who's spent their life devoted to photography.

Sure I destroyed my guitar at every concert, but it was okay, because I'd always get a shiny new one the very next day.

The things I thought would happen didn't. Things I never anticipated unfolded.

I was horny, but I was innocent 'cause I was a real-late bloomer and not particularly attractive. In fact, homely.

I wasn't writing, I wasn't drawing, and personality-wise, I was just completely arrogant. I'm not trying to be overly apologetic for my behavior - I wasn't evil. The lifestyle I had was one that lent itself to becoming more and more self-involved.
