More quotes by Frank Zappa
Maybe you should stay with your mama, you're kind of stupid and ugly, too.
Frank Zappa
What something is depends more on when it is than anything else.
Frank Zappa
I want a hairy little Jewish Princess with a brand new nose, who knows where it goes.
Frank Zappa
The people of your century no longer require the service of composers. A composer is as useful to a person in a jogging suit as a dinsoaur turd in the middle of his runway.
Frank Zappa
The ONLY thing that seems to band all nations together, is that their governments are universally bad.
Frank Zappa
I think it's really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything really seriously ... I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what's the story here? Being alive is so weird.
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
If we can't be free at least we can be cheap.
Frank Zappa
I think pop music has done more for oral intercourse than anything else that has ever happened, and vice versa.
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
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.
Frank Zappa
Hendrix is one of the most revolutionary figures in today's pop culture, musically and sociologically.
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
The price of meat has just gone up and your old lady has just gone down.
Frank Zappa
Classical musicians go to the conservatories, rock´n roll musicians go to the garages.
Frank Zappa
I would say that today, dishonesty is the rule, and honesty the exception. It could be, statistically, that more people are honest than dishonest, but the few that really control things are not honest, and that tips the balance.
Frank Zappa
Do your job and do it right, life's a ball, TV tonight.
Frank Zappa
Catholic girls with tiny little mustaches.
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
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.
Frank Zappa
