Long hair is an unpardonable offense which should be punishable by death.

The kids out there want something they can relate to, something that's real most of that whiny stuff isn't real. The cheesy pop songs just bore me to death.

I was brought up by very witty people who were dealing with quite difficult things: disease and death... I was brought up by people who tended to giggle at funerals.

Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.

Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.

I have no fear of death. More important, I don't fear life.

O Death, rock me asleep, bring me to quiet rest, let pass my weary guiltless ghost out of my careful breast.

Death comes in a flash, and that's the truth of it, the person's gone in less than 24 frames of film.

At the moment of death I hope to be surprised.

I was court-martial in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.
