“They've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.”

Interview by David Sheff in Rolling Stone Twentieth Anniversary Issue (1987)
Context: We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. They are a hundred times better educated than their grandparents, and ten times more sophisticated. There has never been such an open-minded group. The problem is that no one is giving them anything fresh. They've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
