"All the drinking and all the other junk that I was stuck in... It was so predictable. So boring. I wake up the next day - somewhere, in some bed, I don't know who this person is next to me... and I'm drunk, competely hung over and have a show to do. The result is the same... When life now is pretty... exciting. You don't know what's gonna happen."

"I didn't plan on rock 'n' roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock 'n' roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music. In rock 'n' roll you can realize anything that you can in jazz or anything. There's no limitation other than the beat. You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz — which is dying — as far as making any money is concerned."

"You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldn't get much higher. Come on baby, light my fire — Come on baby, light my fire — Try to set the night on fire."

"In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other's art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one man's ideas. Most groups today aren't groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves."

"I want to walk with you On a cloudy day In fields where the yellow grass grows knee high"

"If I were a painter I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me"

"How far you are I just don't know The distance I'm willing to go I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky Hoping for some kind of sign"

"Something has to make you run I don't know why I didn't come"

"Lonestar Where are you out tonight? This feeling I'm trying to fight It's dark and I think that I would give anything For you to shine down on me"

"I’m like, "Oh, I make slow music." I guess that’s okay. Maybe it's a good thing to sound like yourself."

"I’m too sensitive. All I have to do is pick up Newsweek and glance upon a bad review and it will crush me for a week. Some Joe Schmo writes a snarky comment in a blog and I’m destroyed."

"I got a Jones like Norah for your soror."

"Every year we went, I would be up for "Album of the Year" and then the winner is Norah Jones? Who? And I'm not even trying to say anything bad about her music. At that point, I had never heard of her and none of my friends did either and then Steely Dan. Okay, I know who Steely Dan is. Steely Dan back in the day. More than The Marshall Mathers LP impact? Okay, fine. I watched 50. 50 did not win Best New Artist at the Grammys. Nobody since Snoop came out the gate like that. My first album didn't do it. I never saw someone's first album and the wave happen like he had. And then he doesn't get it."

"What the fuck is going on? Who the fuck is Norah Jones? "Shady, wait a minute, baby, leave the whore alone. Just go up there and be humble and take them awards home.""

"It never rains when you want it to You humble me, Lord"

"I realize my strengths. The truth is, I sing ballads. People like it when I sing ballads. I seem to have a way with them. And if the cool kids can’t say anything nice about me, that’s how it is."

"I want to wake up with the rain Falling on a tin roof While I'm safe there in your arms So all I ask is for you To come away with me in the night Come away with me"

"They call me "Snorah", but Jesus, that slow music touches people!"

"So I watched pay per view and polished my shoes and my gun Was diggin' on Kurt Cobain sing about lithium."

"You said you liked my Cobain shirt."

"Too late, He sleeps with angels Too soon, He's always on someone's mind."

"Xzibit easily dispersed like crack cocaine See I lent my shotgun to Kurt Cobain And the motherfucker never brought it back (Ah, that's wack)"

"He rocked the United States by flying all over the country and playing that rock and roll He is a good singer He is my rock star."

"See the whites of their eyes, white skin, white lies House of Pain white, Everlast, Kurt Cobain white Elvis, simple and plain white, John Wayne white."

"Kurt Cobain reincarnated Sighs and licks his face."

"Disturbed by the fame Just like Kurt Cobain."

"Toward another, he has gone To breathe an air beyond his own."

"There was this boy who played in a rock n' roll band And he wasn't half bad at saving the world She said he could do no right, so he took his life The story is true."

"Hard luck god, he never had a chance, you know. Incurable romantics never do."

"Sometimes I wonder what goes on inside her mind When she said she thought Dave Grohl had died, and Kurt Cobain was still alive."

"Yeah the whole Byrd gang's in here, like Kurt Cobain was here."

"Left on the floor Leaving your body When highs are the lows And lows are the way."

"Cobain, can you hear the spheres Singing songs off station to station?"

"He gathered up his loved ones And he brought them all around To say, "Goodbye, nice try.""

"And so I parallel the brains of Cobain."

"Maybe I'm crazy, addicted to pain Maybe the cocaine destroyed my brain Private conversations with Kurt Cobain I'm drownin' my fears in the acid rain."

"Low budget hoes trynna knock ya game, like Did Courtney Love kill Kurt Cobain, from close range Turn his brain to shrimp lo mein?"

"Johnny wishes he was famous Spends his time alone in the basement With Lennon and Cobain And a guitar and a stereo."

"Some believe that you are God, Others say you were an idiot. But I only see a good, sad man, Whose name was K. Cobain."

"Keep them high like Kurt Cobain."

"Way out in Seattle Young Kurt Cobain Snuck out to the greenhouse Put a bullet in his brain."

"Yo, I blow your mind like Kurt Cobain."

"Ne me parle pas de travail à la chaîne Je veux pas finir comme Kurt Cobain. (Don't talk to me about working on the assembly line I don't wanna end like Kurt Cobain.)"

"But it's all entertainment Wonder when Cobain blew out his brains, did he blame it? And if those snakes in the industry helped him aim it Started pressing up records before the bullet left the chamber"

"Cobain, Cobain She blows my brain."

"And a memory that can ease your pain Like a melody from Kurt Cobain."
