“I personally believe this: We have only today; yesterday’s gone and tomorrow is uncertain.”

. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I’m in love.

I don’t like to practice; I like spontaneity. When I don’t play guitar for a week and I pick it up again, I play better.

I’m not here to perform. I’m here to sign autographs. You have to wait till I come back with my own hand.

I believe that the only way that the human race is gonna survive is to start colonizing space and setting up colonies on the moon, and then space stations.

I’m the kinda person, you gotta fight for everything you get. You gotta believe in yourself.

When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off.

People, y’know, they either love us or they hate us; there’s no middle ground.

I had a feeling it was gonna work out because not only did I enjoy the music and hit it off with the guys, but I was into theatrical rock and was willing to wear makeup and do anything to make it.

By the time I’m 40, interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age, anyway.

Every time Paul and Gene use my makeup, they have to pay me a royalty check. I think they changed the makeup so they didn’t have to pay me.

I went to my friend’s house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp

One of the greatest gifts I’ve ever gotten is my daughter.

I knew I was destined to do a solo album, but when I did that first album in 1978, I had no idea it was going to be that well received.

I’ve never read anything about heroin where, yeah, it’s a good experience, and you can do it for 20 years and enjoy it, like having a cold beer. It doesn’t work that way with heroin.

I’ll get up there and I’ll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits.

My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I’ve always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.

Personally, I was never the cool kid. I was always sort of a bookworm.

I appreciate the fact, and am proud of it, that the attentions I am receiving are intended more for our country than for me personally.

I personally don’t like to go see romantic comedies. But people do want to see them, and they seem to want to see me in them.

I personally pledge myself to openly counsel, aid, and abet youth, both black and white, to quarantine any Jim Crow conscription system.

When I write I inhabit a personality that is and is not me.

I’m from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.

The largest part of what we call ‘personality’ is determined by how we’ve opted to defend ourselves against anxiety and sadness”.

I personally think if you’re given four months instead of four weeks on a play, with the people who want to work that way.
