Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
I don't like rock opera with back beats.
I'm an amalgam of the 19th-century romantics and the beat poets.
I've sung background for a couple of bands.
I'm easily destroyed and I operate on emotional levels.
I'm too old to do crazy things anymore.
Comedy has lost its eloquence.
I have an AIDS ribbon tattooed on my arm.
I try my hardest not to read reviews.
Truman Capote is really an interesting cat.
New Orleans is a unique environment.
I really like cable T.V.
I'm quite repulsed by the diva type.
I've always been an outsider; a displaced person.
I was not someone who participated in other people's castles.
I was singing before I could talk.
I write about what I know.
For years, I wasn't in the least bit interested in opera.
If I were a painter, you'd be calling me Shaqcasso.
I spent 25 years as a stand-up comedian.
We need realism to deal with reality.
