Turn the goddam music up! My heart feels like an alligator!

The downward spiral of Dumbness in America is about to hit a new low.

Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

I learned a long time ago that reality was much weirder than anyone's imagination.

Human beings are the only creatures on earth that claim a God and the only thing that behaves like it hasn't got one.

Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested.

America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?

Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing.

Hope rises and dreams flicker and die. Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday. Life is beautiful and living is pain.

Life is the night skyAll the dots of stars are happiness

I am no longer scared to close my eyes and dream

You possess great strength and vitality.

I mean, aren’t we all tormented by past relationships?

I always feel slightly sorry to be the voice of whatever I'm experiencing.

We always want to let people leave with some sort of like, "Great, I want to see more." Not, "Oh my God, that's still on?"

I think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the internal process of their soul and their mind that's taking place while they're writing music.

The exquisitely bad is as satisfying to the soul as the exquisitely good. Only the mediocre is unendurable.

Make the basic shot-making decision early, clearly and firmly, and then ritualize all the necessary acts of preparation.
