Tom Waits

I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy.

I'm so horny the crack of dawn better watch out.

If you're in the middle of the ocean with no flippers and no life preserver and you hear a helicopter, this is music. You have to adjust to your needs at the moment.

I went to a doctor and told him I felt normal on acid, that I was a light bulb in a world of moths. That is what the manic state is like.

You don't work on something for six years and be blind to the myriad of other approaches.

For me, the wheelchair symbolizes disability in a way a cane does not.
