I hate Stanley Clark, but I have to admit he's playing Jazz whether I like it or not.

The first mistake of art is to assume that it's serious.

I mean Iggy and The Stooges first couple of albums I think sold twenty five thousand between the two of them you know and so to talk in terms of an underground I mean you have to go really to the independent labels and things like that.

I mean the interesting thing I think would be if something happened like, what happened in England where all these kids that all of a sudden can't afford the ticket prices.

And doing so you can recreate yourself and you can also come up with something that is not only original and creative and artistic, but also maybe even decent, or moral if I can use words like that, or something that's like basically good.

Corporations are social organizations, the theater in which men and women realize or fail to realize purposeful and productive lives.

No, I see it as meaning very little at the moment because none of the groups are about anything.

I'm really schizophrenic about that, because on the one hand I would say, yes there is, there's something inherently, even violent about it, it's wild and raw and all this.

No I don't think it was a myth at all, anymore than what the recession that the whole country was experiencing was a myth, which obviously seems like it's going to get worse and worse.

In fact I think now we've reached a point now, where the powers that be really have sort of vested interest in all of us being stoned out as much as possible all the time so we don't know what's going on, and we don't care.

It's much easier to wear a Chairman Mao button and shake your fists in the air and all that, then to actually read the Communist manifesto and things like that and actually become involved in politics.

Most of them are pretty down records, pretty unhappy, pretty confused. Which only reflects how people in general were feeling, I mean really the sense that you get is society running down.

The great thing about The Clash of course is that they keep searching for answers beyond that.

The ultimate sin of any performer is contempt for the audience.

That's one reason why it's pretty worthless, I can't totally buy it, if you think about it, it's things like the Phil Spector records. On one level they were rebellion, on another level they were keeping the teenager in his place.

I mean it's easier to be in a demonstration if it's a trip that's one of the reasons why the whole thing fell apart in 1971, because it wasn't a trip any longer.

Or like in the early 70's when we had the reaction against acid rock and all the fuzz tone, and feedback, and the noise. And you had James Taylor and everyone went acoustic and that.

Nothing ever quite dies, it just comes back in a different form.

Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.

I don't see that there are any particular changes in popular music.

When kids can't afford to see it anymore maybe we'll have a whole resurgence of garage bands all over America and this New Wave thing will start to mean something on a grass roots level.

Basically no, I mean I think that it's very easy to like I say, smoke a joint or even to wear a Chairman Mao button, or do a lot of these things with out knowing what's behind it, and what it really means.

Here we are in the 70's when everything really is horrible and it really stinks. The mass media, everything on television everything everywhere is just rotten. You know it's just really boring and really evil, ugly and worse.

The thing is that, they all had real strong personalities and real distinct identities, and I don't find most of the groups that are coming out now really do.

As far as a truly radical conscience, you have to take it as part of a larger thing, that it was sort of historical inevitability that with the coming of a leaguer society people would start to use drugs a lot more then they had before.

Your clock cannot buy you more time your bed cannot get you more sleep your titles cannot acquire you more influence your fame cannot gain you more honor and your money cannot earn you more happiness.

Bacon is so good by itself that to put it in any other food is an admission of failure. You're basically saying, 'I can't make this other food taste good, so I'll throw in bacon.'

I'm more of a Cristal Connors than a Nomi Malone.

I ain't no historian but I happen to savvy this incident.

I learned from watching and I learned form doing.

People simply don't make eye contact anymore.

An indifference to suffering makes humans inhuman.

Standing here in a house of history, and acutely aware of my own imperfections, I pledge that if I am confirmed I will do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant of the Constitution and laws of this great country.

Most of nature is inherently chaotic. It's not rigidly determined in the old sense. It's not rigidly predictable.

I live in too many cities.

I will only purchase what fits me. If I want to lose weight, I do that first and then go shopping.

It's best to be ruthless with the past

I saw 'A Clockwork Orange' when I was 11. When you watch 'Clockwork Orange' at 11, it either totally scares you from watching movies, or you want to become a filmmaker. I was the latter.

When I first started modeling, I realised I was very different from many of my colleagues, but I welcomed the opportunities my career in fashion offered me and the support from many inspiring individuals in the fashion industry.

I want Chinese history to remember me as Carnegie is remembered. I want Chinese people to remember me as they remember Marx and Lenin.

Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.

I think I was probably always a liar; I just get paid for it now.

With bundled machines you can throw away the hardware and keep the software, and it's still a good buy.

Wyoming is good, but Montana is like heaven on earth.

I grew up in a martial arts gym surrounded by men and boys, and I pretty much call myself a tomboy.

Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore, so do our minutes, hasten to their end.

When you are insane, you are busy being insane - all the time.

I've always been a happy-go-lucky person. I haven't got any dark tales, I didn't draw on my own past, I'm from a very normal stable background and had an amazing childhood, and I haven't got any complaints really.
