I don't go to church on Sunday, don't get on my knees to pray, or memorize the books of the Bible, I got my own special way

Most people don't care if you're telling them the truth or if you're telling them a lie, as long as they're entertained by it.

The Universe is making music all the time.

I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!'

I can't listen to so much music at the same time. I think you really have to have a diet. You're just processing too much, there's no place to put it. If you go a long time without hearing music, then you hear music that nobody else hears.

I didn't really want to be part of a clique or a niche. But I also was looking for my own voice, as a writer, y'know? And a world I could call my own.

Jesus Christ, this godamn rain, will someone put me on a train.
