Captain Beefheart

I don't have any influences. I just listen to myself.

My mind is like a sponge. It absorbs everything.

I don't think about what I'm going to do. I just do it.

I'm not interested in making money. I'm interested in making art.

The blues is a feeling. It's not a color.

I don't believe in time. I believe in moments.

I'm a wild animal. I can't be tamed.

I don't have any rules. I just do what I want.

I'm not trying to be different. I'm just being myself.

The desert is my church.

I don't think about the past or the future. I just live in the present.

I'm not a person. I'm a force of nature.

I like to watch things grow. That's why I like to paint.

I don't believe in gravity. I believe in levity.

I'm not a leader. I'm a follower of the wind.

My art is not for sale. It's for sharing.

I don't have a style. I just have a way.

I'm not a teacher. I'm a student of life.

I don't have any secrets. I'm an open book.

My music is like a dream. It's not real.
