Text Quotes
Trying to describe the process of becoming an alcoholic is like trying to describe air. It’s too big and mysterious and pervasive to be defined. Alcohol is everywhere in your life, omnipresent, and you’re both aware and unaware of it almost all the time, all you know is you’d die without it, and there is no simple reason why this happens, no single moment, no physiological event that pushes a heavy drinker across a concrete line into alcoholism. It’s a slow, gradual, insidious, elusive becoming (Dio Quotes)
The temptation many creative people I know have is to strive for popularity. To make, do, and say things that other people like in the hopes of pleasing them. This motivation is nice. And sometimes the end result is good. But often what happens in trying so hard to please other people, especially many other people, the result is mediocre (Dio Quotes)
Nothing in the world can be compared to the human face. It is a land one can never tire of exploring.

To see it animated from inside, and turning into poetry (Dio Quotes)

Thank you for letting idiots like me, come out and live this wonderful wonderful dream. I love you to death. Lets go home (Dio Quotes)
The culture used to move relatively slowly, so you could take aim. Now it moves so fast, and is so fluffy and meaningless, you feel like an idiot even complaining about it (Dio Quotes)
To get my sound in the studio, I double guitar tracks, and when it gets to the lead parts, the rhythm drops out, just like it’s live. I’m very conscious of that (Dio Quotes)
What use is my mind? Granted that it enables me to hail a bus and to pay my fare. But once I am inside my studio, what use is my mind? I have my model, my pencil, my paints. My mind doesn’t interest me (Dio Quotes)
Perhaps it’s true that I’m very hard on myself, but that’s better than exhibiting mediocre work... too few were satisfactory enough to trouble the public with (Dio Quotes)
The true professional makes art when he is not feeling good, if the studio is too cold or too warm or the walls are falling down. We are painters and we paint. If I were a sculptor, I’d sculpt (Dio Quotes)
I think of my studio as a vegetable garden, where things follow their natural course. They grow, they ripen. You have to graft. You have to water (Dio Quotes)
An artist needs the best studio instruction, the most rigorous demands, and the toughest criticism in order to tune up his sensibilities (Dio Quotes)

How tedious is retirement! You cannot imagine to yourself the monotony with which day comes after day (Dio Quotes)
Surfing is like that. You are either vigorously cursing or else you are idiotically pleased with yourself (Dio Quotes)
The materials of true poetry are always humble, absolutely idiosyncratic, the autobiographical tatters that, in gifted hands, are made into the memoir that fits us all (Dio Quotes)
Studios might support people trying to do something a little bit different and they’d be more open to the fact that there’s more than one path to the waterfall (Dio Quotes)
I have a weird sense that people ten years younger than me don’t own a radio, or maybe they own a radio, but they don’t call it a radio (Dio Quotes)
America is a great place, speech is free and you’re able to expose the fact that you’re an idiot (Dio Quotes)
Few of the great tragedies of history were created by the village idiot, and many by the village genius (Dio Quotes)
I don’t have a thyroid anymore. I had radioactive iodine treatment, which destroyed my thyroid. I take medication every day (Dio Quotes)
One day there were two out in the ninth, and I hit a pop fly so high that the fans got tired of waiting for it to come down. So they all went home and listened to it drop by turning on the radio (Dio Quotes)
I ain’t a new artist, I’m good in the studio, I don’t need somebody to hold my hand in the studio. I don’t even really want them all over my album or anything like that (Dio Quotes)
When you can’t smoke, if you stand and stare out of the window on your own, you’re an antisocial, friendless idiot. If you stand and stare out of the window on your own with a cigarette, you’re a philosopher (Dio Quotes)
I think all the great studio filmmakers are dead or no longer working. I don’t put myself, my friends, and other contemporary filmmakers in their category. I just see us doing some work (Dio Quotes)

I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots (Dio Quotes)
