It seems that the good Tom Waits once said these phrases (I haven't heard them from his own voice, so let's take them with a grain of salt, okay?):

"In the '70s I bought a record called 'The Best of Marcel Marceau' ehm, it was 40 minutes of silence followed by a final applause and it sold quite a bit. I like to play it when I have guests over, but it really annoys me if they start chatting during the listening."

"I can't understand those who hide in reality because they're afraid to face drugs!"

"I like anatomy books and I have to admit that I'm an amateur doctor, I believe."

"When I was young, I wanted to be older. Now that I'm older, I'm not so sure anymore."

#chiaroscuro Thomas Alan Waits when he was young, nonetheless...
