I think that if a person doesn't feel cynical then they're out of phase with the 20th century. Being cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization - you can't just swallow it whole.

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.

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destinies people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only so long as) individual citizens give it a temporary license to exist, in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy, you own the government. It doesn't own you.

Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be.

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.

Classical musicians go to the conservatories, rock´n roll musicians go to the garages.

Without deviance from normality, there can be no progress.

I think pop music has done more for oral intercourse than anything else that has ever happened, and vice versa.

Rock music was never written for or performed for conservative tastes.
