“I’m an old-fashioned guy. I want to be an old man with a beer belly sitting on a porch, looking at a lake or something.”

I am doing things that are true to me. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.

Puberty was very vague. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar.

The idea of dancing is the only thing that scares me.

Money is an important thing in terms of representing freedom in our world.

I’ve never been particularly ambitious. I’m driven by the moment.

I do trust women. I have a lot of women in my life. I have a mother. I have a woman. There’s a lot of women around me. And I do trust them. And they trust me, as far as I know.

Just keep moving forward, and don’t give a shit about what anyone thinks. Do what you have to do, for you.

I’m normal, well, semi-normal.

Love is one of the hardest words to say and one of the easiest to hear.

Trips to the dentist-I like to postpone that kind of thing.

Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.

One day the people that didn’t believe in you will tell everyone how they met you.

It’s awful bad luck to bring a woman aboard the ship. It’s awful worse luck not to.

Keep moving forward and do what you have to do for you.

Once you get on the ship, everything is fine. Once you get on land, everything is not so fine.

If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love, I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years, but I would eat them.

Drink! for you know not when you came, nor why; Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where.

Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!

I found myself being more and more involved with people who were rejected by society – with drug addicts, alcoholism, battered this, battered that – and I found an affinity there.

All it takes is one drink to mess with the way you drive – it clouds your judgment and slows your reflexes. Don’t take any chances. It just isn’t worth it.

This is one night I wish I smoked and drank.

Give my people plenty of beer, good beer, and cheap beer, and you will have no revolution among them.

[On alcohol:] Total abstinence is an impossibility and it will not do to insist on it as a general practice.

When men drink, then they are rich and successful and win lawsuits and are happy and help their friends. Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.
