“On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people; and then I go home alone.”

You can’t stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.

As good as you’ve been to this world is as good as it’s gonna be right back to you.

If I hold back, I’m no good. I’m no good. I’d rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.

Except I knew I had a good voice and I could always get a couple of beers off of it. All of a sudden someone threw me in this rock ‘n’ roll band.

You have to sing loud and move wild with all that in back of you. Now, I don’t know how to perform any other way.

I just want to feel as much as I can, it’s what soul is all about.

Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?

In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn’t like me. It’s silly.

I’d rather have ten years of superhypermost than live to be seventy sitting in some goddamn chair watching TV.

This whole thing that’s happened to me, you see, this whole success thing..it hasn’t yet really compromised the position that I took a long time ago in Texas

I had a lot of hurts and confusions. You know, it’s hard when you’re a kid to be different. You’re all full of things, and you don’t know that it’s about.

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.

I love being a star more than life itself.

Oh, Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz – My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.

.I’m gettin’ it now, today. I don’t even know where I’m gonna be twenty years from now, so I’m just gonna keep on rockin’, cause if I start saving up bits and pieces of me.

It’s ridiculous for a woman to say that she’s not attracted to other women. That’s completely false.

In fact, I thought that Christianity was very a good and a very valuable thing for us. But after a while, I began to feel that the story that I was told about this religion wasn’t perhaps completely whole, that something was left out.

You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur

It is also false that the revolution ripens and comes to development only in the national soil.

It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary. to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.

But are not the dreams of poets and the tales of travellers notoriously false?

I’ll never try to put on a fake image. I’m just Zac.

Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah.
