As soon as someone like me or David Lynch pops up everyone says hallelujah, how weird.

Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.

If people were really naked and everyone knew what each other was thinking, everyone would probably just laugh... or they'd lock each other up.

Love is the distance between reality and pain.

I don't really have the gift of the sustained narrative that you need to write a book. I've tried a couple of times, and it just doesn't work. But I get some good passages, so what I'm going to do is just take sections out of them.

If I played just one song from every album, I would be onstage for two and a half hours. No one wants a show that long.

I think The Beatles are the lasting influence on me, even more so than Dylan.
