I say there're no depressed words just depressed minds.

There is nothing so stable as change.

I'm just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I'd be seeing Elvis soon.

I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.

I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.

The radio makes hideous sounds.

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.

Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything.

No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.

I'm speaking for all of us. I'm the spokesman for a generation.

A lot of people can't stand touring but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I'm driven to do it.

I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.

Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be.

Chaos is a friend of mine.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

A poem is a naked person... Some people say that I am a poet.

But even the President of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked.

At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.

I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.

In ceremonies of the horsemen, even the pawn must hold a grudge.

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

He not busy being born is busy dying.

Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.

I think a poet is anybody who wouldn't call himself a poet.
