More quotes by Tom Waits
George Burns was a Vaudeville performer I particularly loved.
Tom Waits
New York forces you to be in endless surreal situations.
Tom Waits
The blues and gospel stuff seemed to go together.
Tom Waits
If you walk with Jesus, he's gonna save your soul. You gotta keep the devil way down in the hole. He's got the fire and the fury at his command.
Tom Waits
Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?
Tom Waits
There's a beauty of show business. It's the only business you can have a career in when you're dead.
Tom Waits
All medical procedures require two hands, so in a sense it's like when you play an instrument. That's what they call things that they use in their work: They call them instruments. A lot of people start out majoring in medicine and drop it and change their major to music.
Tom Waits
Sing me a rainbow. Steal me a dream.
Tom Waits
I'm not one of those people the tabloids chase around.
Tom Waits

Tom Waits

Tom Waits
The dog won't bite if you beat Him with a bone
Tom Waits
It's new, it's improved, it's old fashioned.
Tom Waits
Most people don't care if you're telling them the truth or if you're telling them a lie, as long as they're entertained by it.
Tom Waits
Leona Helmsley's dog made $12 million last year... and Dean McLaine, a farmer in Ohio, made $30,000. It's just a gigantic version of the madness that grows in every one of our brains.
Tom Waits
Now it's closing time/the music's fading out.
Tom Waits
I don't think that you should be perfectly candid and frank about the intimate details of your personal life with the public at large. Subsequently, it creates considerable personal problems.
Tom Waits
I don't know if any genuine meaningful change could ever result from a song. It's kind of like throwing peanuts at a gorilla.
