“I think that phrase is the most horrible phrase in the English language – ‘I don’t know.’ It’s terribly embarrassing.”

Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is.

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.

The sound of glass speaks quick, disdain and conceals what your eyes fight to explain.

Some people surrender their freedom willingly but others are forced to surrender it. Imprisonment begins with birth.

You have a lot of small choices. It’s like . . . I guess it’s the difference between suicide and slow capitulation . . .

Actually I don’t remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs.

I like any reaction I can get with my music.

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel. Or, not feel.

I offer images-I conjure memories of freedom that can still be reached-like the Doors, right? But we can only open the doors-we can’t drag people through.

You cannot petition the lord with prayer!

Death Makes Angels of us all.

We could plan a murder Or start a religion.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are…There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.

I am troubled, immeasurably by your eyes. I am struck by the feather of your soft reply.

Tell them you came, and saw, and looked into my eyes and saw the shadow of the guard receding.

That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is….Most people love you for who you pretend to be…

Maybe, who knows, I’ll hire myself a trainer and a fancy cook. In five years, maybe I’ll be an action hero. Then again, maybe I’ll just be this guy. Who knows? But the fun part is embracing the human side of that.

Then, believe it or not, along came the wave of the English cats like John Mayall, Eric Clapton and the Stones embracing the great American art form – the blues.

Conforming is not cool. Embracing who you are and what makes you different is actually what’s really cool.

How embarrassing for man to be the greatest miracle on earth and not to understand it!

Upon the lips of babes asleep I saw light embracing light and so allowed my syllables to rest there as a prayer they might sing in their dreams.
