You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.
You live the lifestyle you were trained and conditioned to live. I create me own lifestyle, my own world. You live in the world that was created for you. You accept the things you were taught to accept because you don't know any different. I don't accept the things I was taught. I don't accept the trees being cut down. I don't accept the water being polluted. You people accept that.
As long as there's hate in your heart, there'll be hate in the world. You can't fight for peace and you cannot capture freedom.
You may restrain my body and you may tear my guts out, do anything you wish, but I am still me and you can't take that. You can kill the ego, you can kill the pride, you can kill the want, the desire of a human being. You can lock him in a cell and you can knock his teeth out and smash his brain, but you cannot kill the soul. You never could kill the soul. It's always there, the beginning and the end. You cannot stop it, it's bigger than me. I'm just looking into it and it frightens me sometimes.
Don't treat the dogs like people. Treat the dogs like dogs. They are better than people.
You are not you, you are just reflections, you are reflections of everything that you think you know, everything that you have been taught.
You eat meat with your teeth and you kill things that are better than you are, and in the same respect you say how bad and even killers that your children are. You make your children what they are.

in a case of massive publicity Los Angeles County will necessarily always be the venue of choice since the adversities of publicity are offset by a trial being conducted in a populous metropolitan area.
When I go on the mountain and I say "Do it!", it gets done. And if it doesn't get done, then I move on it. And that's the last thing in the world you want from me!
If you are going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy.
My relationship to music is completely subliminal, it just flows through me.
Well, were our own prisons. We each our own wardens & we do our own times. We get stuck in our own little trips & we kind a judge ourselves the way we do. You know, I cant judge uh, nobody else, best thing I can do is try to judge myself & live with that. See, what other people do is not really my affair, unless they approach me with it, & want me to do something about it, uh, then Ill uh take into consideration what has to be done. But other than that I just uh, try to do my number, & do my time.
You are going to use this courtroom to kill me? I am going to fight for my life one way or another. You should let me do it with words.
