Short people got no reason to live.

I am half a man, holy Jesus, what a drag.

Some day you do something where you use everything you know. You don't do it ostentatiously where you see the workings going on. But some day, if you're lucky, that will happen.

I have owned and played a Steinway all my life. It's the best Beethoven piano. The best Chopin piano. And the best Ray Charles piano. I like it, too.

My music has a high irritation factor. I`ve always tried to say something. Eccentric lyrics about eccentric people. Often it was is joke. But I would plead guilty on the grounds that I prefer eccetricity to the bland.

But if you're doing something, show up everyday, and something good might happen - it's not going to happen if you don't show up.

I like Public Enemy a great deal.
