The day you open your mind to music, you're halfway to opening your mind to life.

I bought a Dutch barge and turned it into a recording studio. My plan was to go to Paris and record rolling down the Seine.

I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.

Give blood, but you may find that blood is not enough.

Like so many addicts, I'd thought that if I could only sort out my life, I could then sort out my drinking. It was a revelation to see that it would be simpler the other way around

It makes me angry when people insist that I have a responsibility to do what they think I should do.
