I always said I was never gonna be an entertainer, Suicide was never supposed to be entertainment.

We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!

That's what my music... I'm working on a solo record right now, it's gonna be more hip-hop than anything, like electronic hip-hop, futuristic hip-hop. I'm probably gonna be rapping on it.

I like performers who I know are for real. You can tell, man, there's an intensity about their stuff. You can tell right away they're real people, ya know?

But of course it's always gonna be Suicide, our fingerprints, ya know? You can't ever get rid of that.

You're gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I'm starting to enjoy Eminem.

If we cannot live so as to be happy let us at least live so as to deserve it.

Fear is very often a part of the spiritual path. When people sit down and meditate it's not at all uncommon for fear to arise at some point.

Nothing matters more to AA's future welfare than the manner in which we use the colossus of modern communication. Used unselfishly and well, it can produce results surpassing our present imagination.

Our relations with others are not external. They enter into our very identity. And that's why people struggle with them so.

I decided that I did not want to follow any of these ideologies or trends, because these also exerted a kind of pressure, and obstructed absolute creative freedom.

I still don't get golf.

Germany is using its Energiewende policy as a way of envisioning a green transformation and innovation across many sectors.

I've thought for a long time that my body type would have worked well in the '70s. The idea that you could be a broad-shouldered, small-breasted woman and still wear really great outfits.
