Basically, between 1989 and 1994, I hadn't taken a vacation.

CDs, too. Totally corporate. They look real cheap and soulless and they don't smell of anything.

I'd forgotten what it was like to play music and have it be fun so I decided to stop. I wasn't even sure if I was going to make a new record, I was just kinda quitting.

I don't like alcohol, but I still like to mess around with other stuff occasionally. I think it's important I take mushrooms and acid. They're certainly not addictive, so I can't rule that out.

When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence.

I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again.

It is hard, though, 'cos record labels love to boss you around. I won't let them do that anymore.

I lie around and play guitar, that's something I do for sure. In fact that's all I do, I think.

I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure.

My high-school dream was to be in a band, pay my rent and eat - and I've been able to do that for 20 years. So I'm completely content.

When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em.

If you love me you never let go of me.

When you become a raindrop in your mind Thunder is the closest friend you may find Wind lashed trees, dark clouds, lightning or the dust Everything you will bear once you adjust

silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation.

Power lasts ten years

Every new concept first comes to the mind in a judgment.

Sin and Hell are married unless repentance proclaims the divorce.

In my opinion, using different kinds of epithets and adjectives in connection with the word democracy is a sign of mere hypocrisy, to put it mildly. Either there's democracy, or there isn't.

I sincerely believe what happens in India has, I think, lessons, morals for the future evolution of humankind in the 21st century.

The abstract artist has given material existence to many unseen worlds and tempi.

Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
