“A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?”

“The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
But I worry about you
I know it makes no difference
To what you’re going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about you…
-- Distant Early Warning (1984)”

“If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.”

“Looks like what drives me crazy
Don't have no effect on you--
But I'm gonna keep on at it
Till it drives you crazy, too.”

“They're all crazy. They're all crazy except you and me. Sometimes I have me doubts about you.”

“Mama--Mama--I want so many things… I want so many things that they are driving me kind of crazy…”

“I am not an animal in my personal life. But in the ring there is an animal inside me. Sometimes it roars when the first bell rights. Sometimes it springs out later in a fight. But i can always feel it there, driving me and pushing me forward. It is what makes me win. It makes me enjoy fighting.”

“I act like shit don't faze me
Inside it drives me crazy
My insecurities could eat me alive
But then I see my baby
Suddenly I'm not crazy
It all makes sense when I look into her eyes”

“A truly happy woman drives some men and almost every other woman absolutely crazy”

“I do not feel inhibited or bound by what I am. That does not mean that I have never had bad scenes relating to being Black and/or a woman, it means that other people’s craziness has not managed to make me crazy.”
