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.

More quotes by Frank Zappa
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
Frank Zappa
Modern Americans behave as if intelligence were some sort of hideous deformity.
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
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.
Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa
If we cannot be free, we can at least be cheap
Frank Zappa
Music is the most physically inspiring of all the arts.
Frank Zappa
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.
Frank Zappa
Power will be maintained by the groovy guy or gal who gets the most media coverage for his sleaze. Naturally, his friends in various businesses will do okay, too.
Frank Zappa
The last election just laid the foundation of the next 500 years of Dark Ages.
Frank Zappa
Did you ever consider that LSD was really one of the most dangerous drugs ever manufactured because the people who took it turned into yuppies?
Frank Zappa
You've got to be digging it while it's happening 'cause it just might be a one shot deal.
Frank Zappa
Outdoors for me is walking from the car to the ticket desk at the airport
Frank Zappa
Classical musicians go to the conservatories, rockĀ“n roll musicians go to the garages.
Frank Zappa
I proceeded to take that mitten full of the deadly yellow snow crystals and rub it all into his beady little eyes with a vigorous circular motion.
Frank Zappa
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.
Frank Zappa
What kind of man can name a child Moon Unit?
Frank Zappa
In order to deviate successfully, one has to have at least a passing acquaintance with whatever norm one expects to deviate from.
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
Elvis has left the building to climb up that heavenly stair. So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat?
