Famous quotes by Tom Waits:

"I'm so horny the crack of dawn better watch out."

"I'm just trying to make a buck like everyone else."

"Apparently the highest compliment our culture grants artists nowadays is to be in an ad — ideally naked and purring on the hood of a new car. I have adamantly and repeatedly refused this dubious honor, ... While the court can't make me active in radio, I am asking it to make me radioactive to advertisers."

"George Bush is a fan of mine -- he came to see me in the Seventies. His coke dealer brought him."

"The piano has been drinking, not me."

"The big print giveth and the small print taketh away."

"I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy"

"Their memory's like a train: you can see it getting smaller as it pulls away And the things you can't remember Tell the things you can't forget that History puts a saint in every dream"

"Don't you know there ain't no devil, it's just god when he's drunk"

"Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends."

"Don't you know there ain't no devil, it's just god when he's drunk."

"I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy."

"But then I'm one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone, its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music."

"You almost have to create situations in order to write about them, so I live in a constant state of self-imposed poverty. I don't want to live any other way."

"I think all songs should have weather in them. Names of towns and streets, and they should have a couple of sailors. I think those are just song prerequisites."

"My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane."

"All records are riddles, and whatever you may want people to think it's about, it may just be throwing them off. And you don't want it to get in the way of what someone else's understanding is. It's not really about anything. At the same time, it will find some meaning."

"I do like books on anatomy. I have to say I'm an amateur physician, I guess."

"I saw a crow building a nest, I was watching him very carefully, I was kind of stalking him and he was aware of it. And you know what they do when they become aware of someone stalking them when they build a nest, which is a very vulnerable place to be? They build a decoy nest. It's just for you."

"Any place is good for eavesdropping, if you know how to eavesdrop."
