More quotes by Frank Zappa
Since I didn't have any kind of formal training, it didn't make any difference to me if I was listening to Lightnin' Slim, or a vocal group called the Jewels ... , or Webern, or Varèse, or Stravinsky. To me it was all good music.
Frank Zappa
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.
Frank Zappa
I write what I like to write. Those who like to listen to it, listen to it. And the ones who don't, watch football and drink beer, jog, go to discos and so forth. I never claimed to be a man for all seasons.
Frank Zappa
Guitar playing, as currently understood, has more to do with sports than it does to do with music. It's an Olympic challenge type of situation. The challenges are in the realm of speed, redundancy, choreography, and grooming... ...clouds of educated gnat-notes.
Frank Zappa
Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass.
Frank Zappa
The crux of the biscuit is: If it entertains you, fine. Enjoy it. If it doesn't, then blow it out your ass. I do it to amuse myself. If I like it, I release it. If somebody else likes it, that's a bonus.
Frank Zappa
Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
Frank Zappa
Drugs will turn you into your parents.
Frank Zappa
Music is the most physically inspiring of all the arts.
Frank Zappa
The typical rock fan is not smart enough to know when he is being dumped on.
Frank Zappa
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
Frank Zappa
If we cannot be free, we can at least be cheap
Frank Zappa
Studied law, but not qualified to practice it.
Frank Zappa
My English teacher, he's like, he's like Mr. Bu-fu.
Frank Zappa
Tobacco is my favorite vegetable.
Frank Zappa
Do your job and do it right, life's a ball, TV tonight.
Frank Zappa
The bassoon is one of my favorite instruments. It has a medieval aroma, like the days when everything used to sound like that. Some people crave baseball...I find this unfathomable, but I can easily understand why a person could get excited about playing the bassoon.
Frank Zappa
If you are home, and you got no place to go, and you want to, just blow yourself up ... Go ahead ... The drugs themselves ... There's a price for doing stuff to yourself.
Frank Zappa
You've got to be digging it while it's happening 'cause it just might be a one shot deal.
Frank Zappa
There is no hell, there's only France
