[commenting on his terminal illness] You've gotta remember, it's not
morbid to me. I know the hearse is parked at the curb and the motor is
running. The thing is, I'm still trying to be cheery about it.
I guess I made sort of a tactical error by not going to the doctor's in
20 years . . . just one of those phobias that didn't pay off.

I think I look like a baboon from Newcastle trying to get a job in a toothpaste commercial. [upon seeing the cover shots for his last album, "The Wind"]
I got to be Jim Morrison a lot longer than he did.

I'm insane. I'm fucked up. I have problems. But I don't get depressed and I don't get bored.
