“The sight of the first woman in the minimal two-piece was as explosive...” — Tom Waits Quote

“The sight of the first woman in the minimal two-piece was as explosive as the detonation of the atomic bomb by the U.S. at Bikini Island in the Marshall Isles, hence the naming of the bikini.”

“Don't you know there ain't no devil, it's just god when he's drunk.”

“I guess I've always lived upside down when I want things I can't have.”

“My job was to produce plutonium that was used for atomic bomb.”

“I used to be the third person in the secret jets we had - they were secret at the time - a jet bomber that flew at immense heights carrying atomic bombs.”

“I did not want to be labelled 'the designer who survived the atomic bomb,' and therefore I have always avoided questions about Hiroshima.”
