Lester Bangs: You CANNOT make friends with the rock stars. That's
what's important. If you're a rock journalist -- first, you will never
get paid much. But you will get free records from the record company.
And they'll buy you drinks, you'll meet girls, they'll try to fly you
places for free, offer you drugs... I know. It sounds great. But they
are not your friends. These are people who want you to write
sanctimonious stories about the genius of the rock stars, and they
will ruin rock and roll and strangle everything we love about it.

William: Russell. Jeff. Ed. Larry. I really love your band. I think
the song "Fever Dog" is a big step forward for you guys. I think you
guys producing it yourselves, instead of Glyn Johns, was the right
thing to do. And the guitar sound... is incindiary. Incendiary. 
Way to go.

was love your band. And you used her, all of you! You used her and

Dylan. You guys, you're always talking about the fans, the fans, the
fans; she was your biggest fan, and you threw her away! And if you
can't see that, that's your biggest problem. And I love her! I love
her!

Elaine Miller: May I speak with William, please?
Sapphire: He's not here. I think he's in the bar with the band.
They just got back from the radio station. Is this Maryann with the
pot? ...Hello?
Elaine Miller: No, this isn't Maryann with the pot. This is
Elaine. His mother. Could you please give him a message? Could you
tell him to call home immediately? And could you also tell him -- I
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
Sapphire: All right. But I'm just going to say this, and I'm
going to stand by it: you should be really proud of him. 'Cause I know
guys, and I'll bet you do too. And he respects women, and he likes
women, and let's just pause and appreciate a man like that. You
created him out of thin air, and you raised him right, and we're all
looking out for him. He's doing a great job, and don't worry -- he's
still a virgin. And that's more than I've ever said to my own parents,
so there you go. ...This is the maid speaking, by the way.

Jeff Bebe: Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll.
I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll. Except Pete
Townshend, but that's okay. Rock 'n' roll is a lifestyle and a way of
thinking... and it's not about money and popularity. Although, some
money would be nice. But it's a voice that says, "Here I am... and
fuck you if you can't understand me." And one of these people is gonna
save the world. And that means that rock 'n' roll can save the
world... all of us together. And the chicks are great. But what it all
comes down to is that thing. The indefinable thing when people catch
something in your music.
