"'Meaning is not in things but in between them'-Norman Brown"

"What's true about music is true about life,that beauty reveals everything because it expresses nothing."

"I needn't mention how essential dreaming is to the character of the rock star."

"The secret of becoming a star is knowing how to behave like one."

"The first duty in life is to assume a pose. What the second duty is, no one has yet found out."

"It doesn't really matter what a man does with his life. All that really matters in the end is the legend that grows up around him."

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person, give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth."

"Why? Because rock n roll's a prostitute it should be tarted up! Performed! The music is the mask, while I, in my chiffon and taffeta well, varda the message."

                                     

                                                                  "Times, places, people. They're all speeding up. So to cope with this evolutionary paranoia strange people are chosen who through their art can move progress more quickly."

                                                                 "Make a wish and see yourself, on-stage, inside out! A tangle of garlands in your hair. Of course you are pleasantly surprised."

                                                                           

 "To save your wild, wild lives To ne'er your fans embitter To cease your  sad demise Tonight we toast."

  "Ha! Nothing makes one so vain as being told one is a sinner!"

  "It's funny how beautiful people are when they're walking out the door.

                                                                          

                           "Every great century that produces art is, so far, an artificial century, and the work that seems the most natural and simple of its time is always the result of the most self-conscious effort."

"Quite soon we actually plan to take over the world!"
