Of course, there is the desire to dominate, to suppress, and there is a desire to be suppressed, and it is fun! I think that in every person there is an element of sadomasochism, and that's fine, it's a game. It has always existed. The Marquis de Sade and Sacher-Masoch was considered intellectuals. I think S&M is a more or less normal. People play these roles and change roles too. The question is whether they do it unconsciously, without understanding what they are doing, and become possessed or may be ill, or they do it consciously, and in this case it becomes their style, and not some blind obsession. They understand that this is just a game. Some proponents of S&M believe there is a God and a devil, and an eternal hell, and they become the devil, and treat this quite seriously, not realizing that they're just... wrong, "took the bait"!..

Burroughs writes by hand on small scraps of paper, lying in bed. He assembles these papers to the file, lays them on the stories and adds to them the newspaper clippings, pictures and so on - everything that has something to do with these subjects.

I think even after all this time people will remember many, many lines of Bob Dylan, some lines of John Lennon. But almost all of the academic poetry will be forgotten.

Poetry is like a radio or TV station that continues to broadcast even after your death. Poetry is capable of it. At the same time a TV show has such a permanent effect, unless it is a work of some genius. Although even if it did, the tapes over time deteriorate and crumble. What really remains in the mind, can be shared from generation to generation.

We overturned stereotypes, but did it without aggression and hysteria. As in my poem "the Cry": "... Allowing handsome men you fuck yourself in the ass and screaming from pleasure...". But according to the stereotype it would be: "... And crying in pain...". Although the realism lies in the fact that in such cases, shouting from pleasure and not from pain. And this realism, common sense combined with humor, has adopted not only gays, but many "straights".

Few of us died because, fortunately, we had used marijuana instead of alcohol, this poison!

I've always been both anti-Communist and anti-capitalist. Since my mother was a Communist and his father was a socialist, I was a child, we realized the chaos of politics. I was never a Stalinist. Rather, a Buddhist or an anarchist. My brain was never under control!

We were friends, but we weren't a band in the literal sense of the word. Already at that time many people were involved in this subculture. In the bars was about homosexuals, addicts, artists, lovers of marijuana and poetry, and it was all in the old Bohemian traditions... do You understand what "La Boheme"?
