So much to do, there's plenty on the farm; I'll sleep when I'm dead.

More quotes by Warren Zevon

I write songs about things that I'm simultaneously trying to not think about.

From what I know about alcoholism, I'd say there's nothing romantic, nothing grand, nothing heroic, nothing brave — nothing like that about drinking. It's a real coward's death.

Sickness, doctors, that scares me, not violence — helplessness. That's why I turn to violent stories.

I wrote my songs despite the fact that I was a drunk, not because of it.

I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's!
His hair was perfect.
