Music was what bothered me, what interested me.

The first generation of CDs sounded terrible. Any chance to remaster would make the music sound better than what was already out there.

For a while, I felt a little self-impelled to write Lou Reed Kind of songs. I should have understood that a Lou Reed song was anything I wanted to write about.

I have no control over the audience. I have no idea what they think. My heart's pure. I can't do anything. I really can't do anything. I don't know what goes on in the crowd.

I wanted to be an actor. That was my real goal. But I wasn't any good at it, so I wrote my own material and acted through that. That's my idea of fun. I get to be all these things in the songs.

I always thought martial arts was the most modern choreography we could have right now, and I always wanted to put it to music.

Me, I've concentrated on music pretty much to the exclusion of other things.

The music business doesn't interest me anymore.

I don't like the word rock opera, but I'm trying to write on that level that's reserved for plays still, or novels.

The myriad choices of his fate Set themselves out upon a plate For him to choose What had he to lose

Some people are like human tuinals

I'm waiting'/for my man/ got twenty-six dollars in my hand/ he's never early/he's always late/ the first thing you learn/ is you always gotta' wait' -Waiting for the Man

She's my best friend, better than a dog or car.

I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.

When I record an album I'm trying to get as close as possible to that perfect moment.

I've become completely well adjusted to being a cult figure.

I'm a humanist.

Some even claim that I'm a terror, a dictator and they're right.

That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.

When you think the night has seen your mind, that inside you're twisted and unkind, let me stand, to show that you are blind. Please put down you hands. Cause I see you; I'll be you mirror.

Those were different times.

There is only one good thing about small town You know that you want to get out

I think that everything happens for a reason, everything happens when it's going to happen.

Please don't set me free Death means a lot me
