* "Well, I feel like I'm from another planet, that's for sure. I definitely have that feeling. I don't know, I just don't feel that I fit into the mainstream of modern life. I just don't fit into it. I don't wanna fit into it! And there's no need to fit in there. It's just nothing there."

== Quotes about Herz ==
* "Once you gather all your records, you had to go deal with the nutjob owner who was straight out of the 60's, vietnam style. He has suffered the long time effects of smokin way to many fuckin drugs. He would bother me while I was diggin, saying that "1 million and one strings" records were incredible. He'd price records based on the name and producer on the record, so sometimes he'd charge like 20-30$ a record, regardless of its shape! The guy was a fuckin scumbag, but I got away with some deals at that joint."

* "You’d present your records to Tom, who ran Mars with his brother, and he would pull out his Goldmine guide.  If it had a listing for the record, he’d quote you the NM price.  If the record was unlisted, he’d quote a price, maybe $20, maybe $75, based on what he thought you’d find most infuriating.  You could negotiate with Tom, but he rarely went half as low as the record’s actual value."
