Tom Waits

“You know, not to sound corny or nuthin', but I felt like a fighter comin' up, man. I felt like, you know, I'm being attacked for this reason or that reason, and I gotta fight my way through this.”
“There is no god higher than truth.”
“I didn't want to become a reserve player, or a bench player, and it was time to move on and take on another challenge.”
“Falling in love is easy, but somebody tell me how to stay there.”
“I want to do what I want when I want to do it not be dictated to by audiences.”
“Great stories teach you something. That's one reason I haven't slipped into some sort of retirement: I always feel like I'm learning something new.”
“I am honoured to have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of my esteemed colleague and fellow poet Mr. Dennis Lee, it will be with pride and passion that I carry forward the mandate of the Poet Laureate position for the City of Toronto and its residents.”
“A school prayer amendment would confer upon public school boards a power the First Amendment now denies to Congress and the states, that is, the power to establish religion.”
