"I couldn't say no to jobs and I couldn't say no to drugs. I'd get high from a movie, I'd be somebody else because I didn't particularly like me, so long as I had a script in my hand, I was okay. As soon as the movie was over, I didn't know what to do."

"I was very laced with drugs myself, but Fred seemed to be even more so than me. That might have had something to do with it. That might have had something to do with nobody wanting to play my records, too, I don't know."

"Hallucinations are bad enough. But after awhile you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip-the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs."

"The thing I do, really, is a communication with audiences more than any achievement through records."
Achievement
"People want to hear about the extremes of human nature. They want things that are larger than their own lives, and more romantic, and not necessarily of their own experiences."
Nature
"I probably wrote three-quarters of the songs without an instrument in my hands."
Music
"The best thing you've got going for you is individuality."
Individuality
"I like the idea of playing in unison with yourself."
Idea
"But music can save your life sometimes. It probably saved me from working in a bank or something. That's a kind of salvation right there."
Life
"To stand up on a stage alone with an acoustic guitar requires bravery bordering on heroism. Bordering on insanity."
Bravery
"I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me."
People
"It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something."
Fun
"Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really cheating, and everything becomes a compromise."
Cheating
