• Martin Swinger is one of those rare singer-songwriters who excels at everything: singing, songwriting, guitar-playing, and being so present with his humor, tenderness, and wild mind that his performances are also deep conversations, soul to soul and heart to heart, about the quirks, surprises, and love that brings us most alive. His songs, ranging from the little plastic parts that hold the world together, to what enlightenment comes from Buddha and Betty Boop falling in love, are whimsically and wisely original and enduring.

• I am dominated by one thing, an irresistible, burning attraction towards the abstract. The expression of human feelings and the passions of man certainly interest me deeply, but I am less concerned with expressing the motions of the soul and mind than to render visible, so to speak, the inner flashes of intuition which have something divine in their apparent insignificance and reveal magic, even divine horizons, when they are transposed into the marvellous effects of pure plastic art.

• Ninguna carretera ofrece más misterio que la primera que recorres desde la ciudad en la que naciste, la primera vez que la recorres por voluntad propia, en un viaje financiado con tu propia lata de café llena de dólares arrugados, billetes que has ahorrado y gorroneado, por los que has trabajado en la centralita toda la noche, por los que te has perdido a los Rolling Stones, por los que has vendido hierba aromática con flores aplastadas que se vuelven marrones dentro de bolsas de plástico retorcidas. De hecho, para desembarcar de tus orígenes, has hecho todo lo que se te ha ocurrido para conseguir dinero, excepto vender tu joven y reluciente coño.
