I'm not Zappa, you know. I'm just Terry.

My motives at a young age were, "I want to be rich and famous".

Japan and Europe seem to have a little more cultural education and so the crowds have been a little more big and enthusiastic, and the places I've played seem a little more classy.

There's nothing that can prepare you for fame and for the music business at any point in history.

I don't think I can play the game and sell myself.

I'm not going to limit myself in ways to compose or how I should record. You just do what you can with what you've got at the moment.

Where does Terry live? Somewhere deep inside. So I just let that come out and try to make something out of it without worrying about techniques or rules or any of that stuff. Just do it, you know. As long as it doesn't burn or get deleted, you know, then somebody will find it someday and I will have left something that I think is beautiful.
