Quotes

• “Wild thing You make my heart sing You make everything groovy Wild thing Wild thing, I think I love you But I wanna know for sure So come on and hold me tight I love you.”
• “There'll be no strings to bind your hands Not if my love can't bind your heart There's no need to take a stand For it was I who chose to start I see no need to take me home I'm old enough to face the dawn Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby Just call me angel of the morning, angel Then slowly turn away from me.”
• “To be or not to be, To free or not to free, To crawl or not to crawl. Fuck all those perfect people! To sleep or not to sleep, To creep or not to creep. And some can't remember, What others recall... Fuck all those perfect people!”
• “Be that as it may, be that as it may not be! Jesus was a Union electrician by the sea of Galilee. He lit up the first moving picture just to brighten up the show. Will you be there in the last video?”
• “Be that as it may, be that as it might! Jesus shot in eight millimeter, he preferred the black and white. He said: "do not play up to the lens, boys and girls, just give me what you know and I will see you in the last video!"”
• “Will you be there in the last video? Will your name be on the roll call at the end, my friend? Where the angels, and the gamblers, and the prisoners come and go? Will you be there in the last video?”
