"I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles, / Be them somebody else's or my own. / With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high, / I will travel unnoticed and unknown."

"There was this short, wiry, weird guy named Charlie doing mystical stuff with beads on the kitchen floor, and I found out later that it was Manson.""It's hard to make a living in the arts, but I'm getting there.
