Man has done a lot to make himself dangerous and animals get the worst of all of it. But then, man too is an animal.

When I see a dolphin, I know it's just as smart as I am.

Johnny Rotten. He's a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he'd stand up and holler. He's funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don't think he's a jerk because he isn't.

Most of modern rock and roll is a product of guilt.

I'd rather play a tune on a horn, but I've always felt that I didn't want to train myself. Because when you get a train, you've got to have an engine and a caboose. I think it's better to train the caboose. You train yourself, you strain yourself.

An audience can really lift you right up off the stage.

You can tell by the kindness of a dog how a human should be.

I have no neighbours other than animals and Joshua Trees.

I needed to purge myself of all the attention my parents had given me - I wasn't neglected enough as a child.

I think Shakespeare is really the one. Words as music and music as words. Everything he wrote was good, which is really frightening.

I don't even know what sound is, much less what it's for. It isn't to make money that's for sure. I've never made any.

With my voice and my band, I can do anything.

The wind is a very difficult sound to get. It's always changing.

I would never kill a living thing, although I probably have inadvertently while driving automobiles.

James Brown is important because he decorates the clock correctly and he's good with lower mathematics. Don't get me wrong - he's good.

My mom was a source of strength. She showed me by example that women, regardless of how difficult life may get, can do it all.

It might sound cliched, but choosing the right script is crucial. I think 'Badmaash Company' was a very big break for me because it gave me a lot of appreciation from the masses. It made me more confident as an actor.

Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.

Facts are stupid until brought into connection with some general law.

I was very, very eager to work. It's just the way I am.
