More quotes by Frank Zappa
Nobody looks good bent over. Especially to pick up a check.
Frank Zappa
I have been monitoring your earthly broadcasts for many years.
Frank Zappa
Whatever you have to do to have a good time, let's get on with it, so long as it doesn't cause a murder.
Frank Zappa
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer.
Frank Zappa
If classical music is the state of the art, then the arts are in a sad state.
Frank Zappa
It's a despicable thing to share your personal inner torment for money.
Frank Zappa
Shut Up and Play your Guitar.
Frank Zappa
I knew Jimi (Hendrix) and I think that the best thing you could say about Jimi was: there was a person who shouldn't use drugs.
Frank Zappa
Anybody who wants religion is welcome to it, as far as I'm concerned--I support your right to enjoy it. However, I would appreciate it if you exhibited more respect for the rights of those people who do not wish to share your dogma, rapture, or necrodestination.
Frank Zappa
The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally for other arts: figuratively - because without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.
Frank Zappa
I'm more interested in melodic things. I think the biggest challenge when you go to play a solo is trying to invent a melody on the spot.
Frank Zappa
All the old history was written for the amusement of the ruling classes. The lower classes couldn't read, and their rulers didn't care about remembering what happened to them.
Frank Zappa
Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass.
Frank Zappa
I want a hairy little Jewish Princess with a brand new nose, who knows where it goes.
Frank Zappa
Classical musicians go to the conservatories, rock´n roll musicians go to the garages.
Frank Zappa
Bad facts make bad law, and people who write bad laws are in my opinion more dangerous than songwriters who celebrate sexuality.
Frank Zappa
Without deviance from normality, there can be no progress.
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
A drug is neither moral nor immoral - it's a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole.
Frank Zappa
Studied law, but not qualified to practice it.
Frank Zappa
