I was Number 1 on the Who's Likely to Die list for 10 years...I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.
A gut-string classical Spanish guitar, a sweet, lovely little lady. The smell of it. Even now, to open a guitar case, when it's an old wooden guitar, I could crawl in and close the lid.
I've never turned blue in someone else's bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners.
Whatever side I take, I know well that I will be blamed.
Anything you throw yourself into, you better get yourself out of.
You can't accuse me of anything I haven't already confessed to.
To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.
My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.

It's really good to be here and as I always say, it's really good to be anywhere!
I don't have a problem with drugs, I have a problem with policemen.
I don't regret nuthin...
If you are going to get wasted, then get wasted elegantly.
It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere.
