About Me
You could say it was an accident that I was ideally suited for the work I am doing It's the primary feeling of a bowstring being pulled back for 22 years and suddenly being
let go. I am primarily an American, second a Californian, third a Los Angeles resident. I've always been attracted to ideas that were about revolt against authority. I like ideas about breaking away or overthrowing of established order. I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me that the road toward freedom, external revolt, is a way to bring about internal freedom. Rather than starting inside, I start outside, reach the mental through the physical. I am a sagittarian, if that has anything to do with it, the Centaur, the archer, the hunt, but the main thing is we are the Doors.Me and my mother and father and a
grandmother and a grandfather were driving through
the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian
workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't
know what happened - but there were Indians scattered
all over the highway, bleeding to death.
So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time
I tasted fear. I musta' been about four - like a child is
like a flower, his head is just floating in the
breeze, man. The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back - is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead Indians...maybe one or two of 'em...were just
running around freaking out, and just leaped into my
soul. And they're still in there.I'm a Sagittarius...the most philosophical of all the signs. But I don't believe in that bullshit. I'm gonna get my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames!
