Nobody looks good bent over. Especially to pick up a check.

If you really love guitar, you're going to spend every waking hour stroking the thing.

I think the anti-smoking business is a yuppie invention-an extension of the concept that we'll always be young, rich, and healthy.

Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

Elvis has left the building to climb up that heavenly stair. So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat?

I think the music of the Fifties is really good. I suspect it's much better musically than much of what's available now. Not in terms of production, but in terms of content.

The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consonant and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese.

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.
