“I get up in the morning. I take 10 hits of acid. I paint myself purple in my mother’s make-up. And I run down the street, naked and purple, throwing eggs at people as they walk by, singing songs about the freaks coming together in a united way. And that’s an average day, that’s just a normal day.”
“I eat blueberries whenever I can get ’em. I find the blueberry to be the greatest of all of God’s creations. What a complicated and subtly multi-dimensional, cosmic, microcosm of all of the universe that exists in a blueberry.”
“What most people want is a sensitive caring relationship with someone with whom you can share all sorts of beautiful things. But sometimes, don’t you just wanna go out and get crazy and fuck like a wild banshee?”
“To be a modern rock band and not be innovative is to suck. And to suck is to be lame. And to be lame is to be weak. And to be weak is to be a jerk.”
“When you try to control music, you strangle it. I know it’s a hippie thing. But I’m trying to get the energy out, let it go. That’s the gift I have.”
“When I first heard about Twittering, I thought it was the most disgusting thing I’d ever heard of in my life. It’s like the devil: the idea that your personal life is there for everybody.”
