You know what I really love? The CD players in a car. How when you put the CD right up by the slot, it actually takes it out of your hand, like its hungry. It pulls it in, and you feel like it wants more silver discs. – Tom Waits
My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane. – Tom Waits
As a kid, I did want to be an old-timer, since they were the ones with the big stories and the cool clothes. I wanted to go there. Now, I guess I want to bring that with me and go back in time. – Tom Waits
Their memorys like a train: you can see it getting smaller as it pulls away And the things you cant remember Tell the things you cant forget that History puts a saint in every dream. – Tom Waits
So, I remember when I was a kid, I was waiting for my mom to come home when she was working late, and, you know, I was like, Oh my God, what happened to her? Is she OK?

I have mentally overcome situations most of you would be terrified to ever attempt: heights, fire, needles, spiders, snakes, angry monkeys, being shot, being hit by a car, going blind – you name it, I have been in a situation where I have had to mentally overcome my inherent fears to do my job. – Criss Angel
