More quotes by Frank Zappa
I'm not going to be Bill Clinton and say I never inhaled. I did inhale. I liked tobacco a lot better.
Frank Zappa
I think the anti-smoking business is a yuppie invention-an extension of the concept that we'll always be young, rich, and healthy.
Frank Zappa
I'm not black, but there's a whole lot of times I wish I could say I'm not white.
Frank Zappa
Find her, blind her, see who designed her. Act like a dummy until you grind her.
Frank Zappa
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.
Frank Zappa
Catholic girls with tiny little mustaches.
Frank Zappa
Did you ever consider that LSD was really one of the most dangerous drugs ever manufactured because the people who took it turned into yuppies?
Frank Zappa
The richest people in the world aren't particularly smart or happy. And the happiest people in the world aren't particularly smart or rich.… That leaves me making music. But we can't talk about that.
Frank Zappa
What something is depends more on when it is than anything else.
Frank Zappa
Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.
Frank Zappa
I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?
Frank Zappa
Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them. With reading comprehension being what it is in the U. S., you can safely toss that one out the window. If you want to judge by the listening habits of people who buy records, the first thing they do is put it on and talk over it.
Frank Zappa
Our criminal institutions are full of creeps like you who do wrong things, and many of them were driven to these crimes by the horrible force called music.
Frank Zappa
Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. You eat this apple you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that.
Frank Zappa
You're baloney without the mayo.
Frank Zappa
Maybe you should stay with your mama, you're kind of stupid and ugly, too.
Frank Zappa
The price of meat has just gone up and your old lady has just gone down.
Frank Zappa
Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them.
Frank Zappa
Anything played wrong twice in a row is the beginning of an arrangement.
Frank Zappa
I enjoy irritating the people who enjoy being irritated.
Frank Zappa
