You are what you are.

Rock'n'roll has to be destroyed and rebuilt in my name if it's ever gonna accomplish anything.

I hate everybody.

That audience is there for me.

I've sold my records outta shopping carts on the street.

I'd like to see anyone do what I do for one week.

I believe I am the highest power, absolutely.

I've had women who move to the towns I'm living in, just pack up and move there, never even met 'em before, 'cause they heard I lived there.

No one comes to my shows so they'll feel safe and comfortable.

I don't have any influences, any heroes, it's just me.

You are what you are.

I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want.

I am in control at all times.

Death is a very important part of life.

I don't wanna get old and stagnant and hang around.

Everything I own can fit in two suitcases and a foot locker.

I don't think there will ever be a GG box set.

I don't want people to think I'm a hypocrite.

I don't want people to think that I can't make fun of myself.

My demons and I are not compatible. We never have been and never will be.

My demons, inner strengths and physical battles have guided me through life.

My principal once told me that I was a penny waiting for change. But I suspect that I irritated him probably because I was making more money than he was.

Every show could be the last one.

Brazil was is and will be in fashion.

Friends are lifes finest blessings. Friend and free are from the same root word perhaps because you are free to be yourself with a friend.

I like to look good, my friend.

None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.

Because the pot takes the edge off the adrenaline, and it also clears your mind of it, and then you can see things a lot clearer.

Ronald Reagan came in - he was a leader. Some of my Democratic friends don't like it when I say that. He had a vision where he wanted to take the country, and things started moving again.

It is important that democracy in Lebanon is protected and that Hezbollah will not be supported by outside forces like Syria and Iran.

I could never dream of being cool.

The erosion of extended family concept and losing out on values are the two things that are primarily responsible for the growing mismatch in the parent-child relationship.

He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest.

The clock is the most scared thing in a hospital.

Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children. Life is the other way around.

People change with time. There are things that happened to a person in his childhood and years later they seem to him alien and strange. I am trying to decipher that child. Sometimes he is a stranger to me. When you think about when you were 14, don't you feel a certain alienation?

The right server for the right job.

Black and white creates a strange dreamscape that color never can.

At North Hollywood High School, I was shunned by everyone. I would sit down in the cafeteria, and students would get up from the table and walk away. They thought I was from the Mafia.

I am a New Yorker.

My son has an old mother.
