Life's full of loss, who knows the cost, living in the memory of the love that never was.
The constant fear of a performer is to become what is reflected back at you.
When the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby, it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.
I can sing better after shooting smack in both arms than after eating too much,
In committing to artistic growth, you have to refine your skills to support your instincts.
I wish I had as much in bed as I get in the newspapers.
Being a celebrity made me so uncomfortable that I would have preferred standing behind the amplifiers.
I love sex as much as I love music, and I think it's as hard to do.
Cocaine made my nose bleed right away. I thought why do I need a nose bleed? It would make me real nervous and talk really fast. I'm already pretty good at talking too fast. I thought, "Why do I need that?"
People have often written about me, that I did this for this reason and that for that reason, and theyre usually 98 percent wrong.
Cocaine made people deaf, it made people dead and it made people real obnoxious.
My feeling about school was that it interfered with my reading.
What my true addiction is is reading. I love to read. If I'd get too loaded, I couldn't remember the sentence I just read.
the relentless touring and endless repetition of the same songs over and over again promoted a creeping awareness that my music had begun to sound like my washing machine.
