"I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos - especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom.. Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical."

 

"I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just.. in between. I want the freedom to try everything."

 

"I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star.. Everyone stops - points up - and gasps: 'Oh look at that!' Then - whoosh, and I'm gone.. and they'll never see anything like it again.. and they won't be able to forget me  - ever."

 

 

"Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities - Opens all doors - You can walk through anyone that suits you."

 

 

"Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel - or not to feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is."

 

"People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it's a friend.."

 

 

 

 

"I wouldn't mind dying in a plane crash. It'd be a good way to go. I don't want to die in my sleep, or of old age, or O.D.. I want to feel what it's like - I want to taste it - Hear it - Smell it. Death is only going to happen once; I don't want to miss it."
