At the time, there was a great disagreement over ‘The Wild and the Innocent,’ and I was asked to record the entire album over again with studio musicians. And I said I wouldn’t do it, and they basically said, ‘Well hey, look, it’s going to go in the trash can.’ That’s the record business, you know.

As soon as I check into a hotel, I get butt naked and I watch super trash TV like ‘Storage Wars’ and ‘The Bachelor.’
I have my cards read every time I pass a tarot-reader booth. I would be so embarrassed to have one of those 900 numbers appear on my phone bill, because I don’t know how I would explain it to my business manager. It would almost be like saying, ‘Okay, I’m white trash.’

When you get into a car, and there’s trash, or it’s dirty, or one of the hubcaps is off, you’re like, ‘Come on, dude.’ Every woman likes the confidence and self-respect that says, ‘I get oil changes. I look after my vehicle.’ That’s what I recommend: Act like you don’t care, but take care of your body.
I try to get in people’s heads. My job is to get the ball, so if I’m talking trash to an O-lineman or quarterback or receiver, and they start thinking about me, that’s good, because they aren’t thinking about the game anymore.
I used to throw stuff out of the window and trash hotel rooms – and superglue all the drawers shut and superglue the toilet seat down and superglue the phone to the nightstand – and all kinds of stuff. I had a chain saw for a while. I didn’t really use it but once or twice.

A lot of my fans want easily digestible music, which I’m not really prepared to give anyone, ever. That’s just trash. That’s boring.
I could never say Rza’s trash. But he didn’t come with the right formula on ‘8 Diagrams.’ I think ‘Cuban Linx 2’ will have the Clan back where they need to be, but then it’s up for the Clan to be back where they need to be, too. ‘Cos it ain’t just the album, you know what I mean? It’s everything.
When you have all these traces of trash moving around, you can ask yourself how can we make the system more efficient. Then we can make better decisions. And perhaps we will not throw away the plastic bottles that go every day to the dump.

Americans trash the planet not because we’re evil, but because the industrial systems we’ve devised leave no other choice. Our ranch houses and high-rises, factories and farms, freeways and power plants were conceived before we had a clue how the planet works.

Good movies are difficult to make, and good trash is even harder to make.
Some guys play so straight, and that may be their thing; like, a lot of guys are good playing like that. I can’t play like that. I have to flair out. I have to yell. I gotta scream. I gotta talk trash – that’s how I get myself going.
My kids, they’re like nine or ten years old right now so you give ’em responsibilities just to keep them up on things. It ain’t just all about getting on the skateboard or putting your Heelys on, and swimming in the pool all the time. You gotta do stuff like wash dishes, take the trash out, feed the dog.
Honestly, I don’t like trash talk, because we gonna fight anyways, right? We don’t need to trash talk.

I use to live on this street when I was a kid where there was an old person retirement home, and all of the old people would listen to that band Herman’s Hermits, and they would wear white nursing shoes. And they would throw away stacks of VHS tapes, and I would go through the trash and take them.

If I had a bad performance in a particular leotard, I threw it in the trash.
Hire me for the next picture. I don’t have to just play down-and-out trailer trash and mean, old, wicked, old nuns. I could play a princess or a queen. That’s all I wanted to do. Because campaigning does go on. It’s a part of selling the film.
It’s really easy to be grounded again when you get back home, and you sing in front of 20,000 people a night, and your wife hands you the kids and tells you it’s your turn to be on diaper duty and take out the trash. So it’s easy to keep things in perspective when things like that happen.
