Take This Heart of Mine

Living with father was something like living with a king, a very peculiar, changeable, cruel and all-powerful king. You were supposed to tip-toe around his moods. You were supposed to do anything to win his favor. I never did. Even though winning his love was the ultimate goal of my childhood, I defied him. I hated his attitude. I thought I could win his love through singing, so I sang my heart out. But the better I became, the greater his demands.

I do not seek. I find.

What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky

“I didn’t ask Jimi to smile, he just naturally was quite smiley, and we laughed quite a lot at the session. That was the first session in ’67, and funnily enough most young men in music, young musicians, want to look mean, moody and sexy.”

I am a bird now

I was aware of people staring at me. No one moved. They seemed almost in trance. I just stared at the clock in the center of the church. When I finished, everyone clapped and started crying.

I'm afraid of you? Are you cracked?

Motorcycles, rebellion, and the open road wouldn’t be the same without Marlon Brando’s “The Wild One” (1953).

"It begins here for me on this road. How the whole mess happened I don't know, but I know it couldn't happen again in a million years. Maybe I could of stopped it early, but once the trouble was on its way, I was just goin' with it. Mostly I remember the girl. I can't explain it - a sad chick like that, but somethin' changed in me. She got to me, but that's later anyway. This is where it begins for me right on this road."

Immortality

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.

Sweet Love - Anita!

I don't let people use me. That's why I like a small number of people in my life. The more people in my life, the more complex it becomes, so I just try to keep it at a minimum.
