I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.
If you subtracted all of the great artists who never drank, who never went to excess, you wouldn't have any more art left. What kind of poem are you gonna get out of a glass of iced tea?
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults.
I would just like to say that after all these years of heavy drinking, bright lights and late nights, I still don't need glasses. I drink right out of the bottle.
He who knows how will always work for he who knows why.
When you can spell subpoena without thinking about it, that's when you know you've made it.
If you put a Van Halen album in your record collection, it will melt all the rest of your records.

Well a good writer writes, a good musician listens to a lot more than he actually composes, and if you're going to do lyrics - well, there's a Freudian slip.

It doesn't matter the kind of music, it doesn't matter whether it's a cowboy hat or a yarmulke. I don't care if it's outer space or pop, the spirit is the same.
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
