hero appreciate people
It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. I don't appreciate worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or of dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison — it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive. Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo.

I don't believe in the evolution of fish to monkeys to men. Why aren't monkeys changing into men now? It's absolute garbage.

I don't believe in yesterday, by the way. You know I don't believe in yesterday. I am only interested in what I am doing now.
