Tom Waits's quotes

  • Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends.
  • No, I don't have a drinking problem except when I can't get a drink.
  • I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
  • I like to walk out of a restaurant with enough gas to open a Mobil station.
  • I hate Disneyland. It primes our kids for Las Vegas.
  • If Michael Jackson wants to work for Pepsi, why doesn't he just get himself a suit and an office in their headquarters and be done with it?
  • Commercials are an unnatural use of my work ... it's like having a cow's udder sewn to the side of my face. Painful and humiliating.
  • I knelt at the altar of Ray Charles for years. I worked at a restaurant, and that's all there was on the jukebox.
  • I love Burroughs (William S. Burroughs). He's like a metal desk. He's like a still, and everything that comes out of him is already whiskey.
  • He is one of the standards by which I measure all singers. (On Harry Belafonte)
