Captain Beefheart

I like to put things together that are opposites. I like to take a baby, and a cow, and a skyscraper, and a piece of meat, and a bicycle, and a cloud, and a tree, and a train, and a dog, and a cat, and put them all in a room and see what happens.

There's a lot of things that haven't been done. I'm doing 'em. That's why I'm here. I'm here to do 'em.

If you've got a guitar, you've got to play it. If you don't play it, it's just a piece of wood.

I don't like to talk about myself. I like to talk about ideas.

The blues is a strange thing. It's like a big old snake, and it just keeps on slithering.

I like to paint. I like to sculpt. I like to write. I like to do things with my hands.

I'm not a musician. I'm a sound sculptor.

I like to make people think. I like to make people feel.

I don't like to be categorized. I like to be free.

I like to experiment. I like to try new things.

The world is a very strange place. And I'm just trying to make sense of it.

I don't like to be told what to do. I like to do my own thing.

I like to be spontaneous. I like to be in the moment.

I'm not a normal person. I'm an artist.

I like to challenge myself. I like to push the boundaries.

I don't like to follow the rules. I like to break them.

I like to be unconventional. I like to be different.

I'm not interested in perfection. I'm interested in expression.

I don't like to be predictable. I like to be surprising.

I like to be honest. I like to be real.
