“If I can't be famous, I want at least to be infamous.”
Remark of 1919, as quoted in German Expressionism 1915-1925 : The Second Generation (1988) by Stephanie Barron. p. 71
“I can't sell myself. And I don't even want to. That's something that's not going to change.”
Interview in Musician magazine (1987)
Context: Where I feel this has cost me is in the personality situation, where you're expected to be a personality. You not only have to write and record, but you have to go out and sell it. Well, I'm not a salesman, and I'm very bad at selling things. If I had to do that for a living, I'd probably be completely broke. I can't sell myself. And I don't even want to. That's something that's not going to change.
“I can DO ANYTHING I want, but I can't DO EVERYTHING I want.”
