Daniel Johnston

When the aliens come, they're going to judge us by our art.

I'm not really a musician. I'm more like a caveman pounding on rocks.

The Beatles are angels sent from heaven to make the world happy.

I wrote 50 songs in one week when I was manic. Some of them were 20 minutes long.

Caspar the Friendly Ghost told me to keep making art no matter what.

I ate nothing but McDonald's for a year because I thought they were putting messages in the food.

I was abducted by aliens. They put a plug in my nose and they were trying to steal my songs.

The devil is real. I've seen him. He's a businessman.

I'm just a person who writes songs about Casper the Friendly Ghost and Captain America.

I saw a monster in my bedroom. It was the devil. He told me I was going to hell.

My songs are like little movies. They're all true stories.

I'm afraid of everything. Especially frogs.

The Beatles saved my life. But they also ruined it.

I drew a picture of a frog with a machine gun. That's how I feel sometimes.

My brain is like a radio that picks up too many stations at once.

I talk to my tape recorder more than I talk to people.

Satan is in my TV. He talks to me through the commercials.

I want to be a cartoon when I grow up.

My songs are like ghosts. They haunt me until I record them.

I saw a UFO over McDonald's. It was shaped like a hamburger.
