I once had dinner with Madonna and I wasn't nervous but within about a minute I found myself talking about underwear.

You know, they say you can reduce genius to someone who spent 10,000 hours trying to get good at something. I'm not claiming either one of those. I haven't done anything for 10,000 hours but sleep. But you do stuff enough, you get better at it. Usually it's a simple thing like that. Essentially, a brainless endeavor.

I hate having to wait. I've got the thing done. I just want to see what happens.

It takes a whole lot of medicine for me to pretend I am somebody else.

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.

I am not overlooking any mail. I'm looking at all of it. I even wrote back to the Viagra people.

I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected.
