I have an important message to deliver to all the cute people all over the world. If you're out there and you're cute, maybe you're beautiful. I just want to tell you somethin' — there's more of us UGLY MOTHERFUCKERS than you are, hey-y, so watch out.

To me absurdity is the only reality

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.
Frank Zappa
Image
It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out the uglier everything seems.
Frank Zappa

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

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.

If we can't be free at least we can be cheap.

Bad facts make bad law, and people who write bad laws are in my opinion more dangerous than songwriters who celebrate sexuality. Freedom of speech, freedom of religious thought, and the right to due process for composers, performers and retailers are imperiled if the PMRC and the major labels consummate this nasty bargain.

Maybe you should stay with your mama, you're kind of stupid and ugly, too.

So much gets lost in the translation. Even if you sat there listening to it with a microscope, there's no way you're gonna find out what it means.

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.

Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.

As far as rearing children goes, the basic idea I try to keep in mind is that a child is a person. Just because they happen to be a little shorter than you doesn't mean they are dumber than you.

Journalism is kind of scary and of it we should be wary.

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.

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.

I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.

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.
