More From Tom Waits
- "You hope people are going to be listening to you after you’re gone. And they like you better after you’re gone."
- "Songs really are like a form of time travel because they really have moved forward in a bubble. Everyone who’s connected with it, the studio’s gone, the musicians are gone, and the only thing that’s left is this recording which was only about a three-minute period maybe 70 years ago."
- "Don’t you know there ain’t no devil, it’s just god when he’s drunk."

- "A widow’s refusal of a lover is seldom so explicit as to exclude hope."― Samuel Richardson
- "Honestly, I don’t listen to nobody else’s music but my own. It’s kind of like sports to me. You don’t see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game – he just works on his own game. And that’s what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things."― Lil Wayne
- "Agressive music can only shock you once. Afterwards its impact declines. It’s inevitable."― Brian Eno
