I need three million dollars to make a low-budget, intellectual, artistic, exciting, erotic movie with a great soundtrack.

Danny is standing side-by-side with his great friend, Jim Morrison, and the two of them will now be laughing together into eternity.
-
You dont make music for immortality you make music for the moment of capturing the sheer joy of being alive on planet earth, WOW! is this fun... this is just the greatest everybody should live it that way.
-
I think I'm a very poor piano player.
-
We went on stage with the Jefferson Airplane, Jim started singing with Grace Slick and hugging her. Then he danced off the stage, went back into the dressing room and passed out cold.
-
We're all getting older. We should, the three of us, be playing these songs because, hey, the end is always near. Morrison was a poet, and above all, a poet wants his words heard.
-
Cadillac said we could all fly out to Detroit and give input as they start putting together their hybrid models and the way they would be presented to the public?. Artists and corporations working together, that's the 21st century. That's the true Age of Aquarius. But John's ego wouldn't let him see it was a good thing to do.
-
I'm basically a cocktail jazz kind of pianist. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a very good keyboard player.
-
Jim, as just a spoken poet, was not that good. He needed the music behind him. He felt a security and a sense of abandon when the music existed around him.

John is going to get about a million dollars for doing nothing. He gets an equal share as us, and we were out there working. A free million bucks. That's a gig I'd like.

Time is just a moment that we occupy in this brief spin around the planet.
-
Movies were very important. The art-form of the 20th century.

Doors music is not a simple kind of music. It's like the Bauhaus. It's clean and pure. Morrison's lyrics are psychologically deep. So for people to understand Doors music is certainly a testament to their intellects.
-
You want a showman, go see rock n roll bands today. You want to have a shamanistic experience, get psychedelic, then you watch The Doors.
-
The Doors movie is a pack of lies. It did not make money. You want to make money in America? Tell the truth.
-
When you're glad to be alive, good ideas come. The reason good ideas don't come today is because we're all bottled up with greed and anger. We're mad.
-
Jim wanted to be known as a poet, first and foremost.
-
Rock n roll is like a circus today.
-
If there was no black man there would be no Rock'n'Roll. The beat, the rhythms of Africa are what created Rock'n'Roll and Jazz.
-
The Doors really were a band of potheads.
-
The Doors were successful. It was Jim Morrison as the centre and the figure and the spokesman, the figurehead, but we were all into the same thing. That's why we were a band.
-
The Doors were never that good as musicians.
