Zitat des Tages von Moon Unit Zappa:
It occurred to me, when I was old enough to make rules of my own, that they should be fair and simple.
My mother tells this story that when I first went to school, I thought I was going to help the teachers. I didn't realise I was going to get educated.
I didn't have any concept of age or authority. I remember realising, Oh, the world has rules and we don't.
I have a tree man coming to trim the jacaranda in my front garden.
I grew up with too much freedom. You can't define yourself.
My Dad was so open creatively that I was off in search of black turtleneck bathing suits with long sleeves.
Not many people know what their parents sound like having sex. It was noisy.
I spent most of my life locked in my bedroom, miserable about my raging acne.
I don't want to lose my name because that's how I know myself. There is a legacy here.
I would think: Stay close to the implants! They must know something because they keep getting asked backstage!
How strange, when your father's wearing women's clothes and platform shoes, that a pair of loafers looks incredible.
I like to think of myself as a New Yorker, which is pathetic.
I had a friend whose family had dinner together. The mother would tuck you in at night and make breakfast in the morning. They even had a spare bike for a friend. It just seemed so amazing to me.
My mother did literally hitchhike barefoot to the country store.
I'm totally convinced I can write the perfect pop song.
I peaked early. I was told I'd missed my boat.
The idea of licking stamps seemed great fun for me.
I made enough money to buy a house. That's crazy, but fame proved ephemeral.
Gag me with a spoon!
Every job I've ever gotten has been an accident. All the jobs I actually go after, I don't get.
