«Conheces o Bukowski? É o meu herói, sabias?... Tenho-o lá em cima, num pedestal. Encontrámo-nos uma vez ou duas. Numa delas encontrámo-nos sobre o mesmo palco em Pittsburgh na Pensilvania. Ele actuou antes de mim e insultou o público durante hora e meia. A seguir fui eu, mas ele não pôde ficar até ao fim porque sofria de hemorróidas e não se conseguia sentar. Foi a noite em que se divertiu a mijar pela janela. Eu muito tímido fui ao pé dele, abafado pela importância da personagem. E ele a dizer-me que eu tinha todo o interesse em portar-.me bem porque o Big Daddy ia ficar ali a observar-me.»
Maio de 1979

«Há pessoas que preferem gastar o tempo no cinema a gastá-lo em qualquer outro lugar. Em certos dias eu chegava a ver dez filmes, passava o dia, das dez da manhã à meia-noite, viajando de um filme para outro. Nessa altura é o mundo exterior que se transforma num filme, o tempo que sobra ganha configurações muito estranhas, passa a ser ele que se torna bizarro e não os filmes.»
Outubro de 1985

«Como definir a minha música? Uhmmm...música para a cadeira eléctrica, talvez, música para os criminosamente loucos, música inofensiva. Não sei. É como o molho tabasco. Pode-se usar no peixe, na carne, nas aves. Repara, eu só oiço mesmo as minhas canções para me certificar de que estão prontas. Depois enxoto-as para a rua. Algumas voltam e ficam comigo, outras desaparecem. É um bocado como um naufrágio com todos aqueles destroços à volta a flutuarem.»

Agosto de 1987

«Por vezes ponho-me a ouvir os meus discos e penso: meu deus, como a ideia original era tão melhor do que esta mutação a que chegámos!...O que agora procuro fazer é agarrar imediatamente o que aparece e procurar mantê-lo vivo. É como transportar água com as mãos. Queremos levá-la toda e, às vezes, quando chegamos ao estúdio, descobrimos que já não resta nenhuma.»
Junho de 1989

worshiping people is all right but looking like them is leck of imagination

"So today, if you see a person who looks like your teenage fantasy walking down the street, it's probably not your fantasy walking down the street, but someone who had the same fantasy as you and decided instead of getting it or being it, to look like it, and so he went to the store and bought the look that you both like. So forget it. Just think about all the James Deans and what it means."

WARHOL, Andy; The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

stronger than me.

You should be stronger than me
You've been here seven years longer than me
Don't you know you supposed to be the man?
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am
You always wanna talk it through - I don't care...
I always have to comfort you when I'm there
But that's what I need you to do - stroke my hair
Cause I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy

You should be stronger than me
But instead you're longer than frozen turkey
Why'd you always put me in control
All I need is for my man to live up to his role
You always wanna talk it through - I'm okay
I always have to comfort you every day
But that's what I need you to do, are you gay?

He said the respect I made you earn
Thought you had so many lessons to learn?
I said you don't know what love is, get a grip
Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script?
I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just wanna grip your body over mine
Please tell me why you think that's a crime
I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy
You should be stronger than me.

Worms

a guy told me,

you don't have to worry about worms when you're dead

they never get to you

the body changes like in all different

ways - by the time

they've worked through the casket

things have happened and it

always happens

different -

they've dug up these old kings outa tombs, ya know:

one guy was just

a little splotch of black

water, another had a

beard 18 feet long and another had

turned to a kind of rock-like salt.

yeah? I said.

yeah, he said.

he knew all these things.

he lived high in the hills and had these tremendous brains.

before I left I reached out and

pulled the worms out of his

eyes nose belly shoes hair ears

and then he said

good night

and I said

good night

and I got in my car and drove off

and the worms laughed

all the way home.

by Charles Bukowski (The Days Run away

like Wild horses over the hills)

Patrícia

oh, daddy

She's gone
I froze her out
Move by move
First I didn't hold her hand
Then I didn't touch her in bed
Then I wasn't tender with her upsets
Then I just told her to go
And still, she didn't go
I had to push.

Now this place is peaceful as a grave
It's dead quiet without her
And her stupid t.v. shows
And young girl laughing
I was always ashamed she read Cosmopolitan
I should have been proud of her
What did she want that was so bad?
She just wanted to believe that someone would
Love her and look after her always

She called me Daddy
She called me.... Daddy

Empty Conversations

"Conto-lhe que tenho fantasias sexuais bizarras e o interesse dele aumenta a olhos vistos. Começo a rir-me sem razão e depois sinto-me subitamente enjoada. Às vezes minto-lhe. Ele conta-me coisas acerca da amante e das reparações que estão a ser feitas na outra casa em Tahoe, eu fecho os olhos e acendo outro cigarro, cerrando os dentes. Às vezes, simplesmente, levanto-me e saio."

Bret Easton Ellis em LESS THAN ZERO
