A man who knows what he wants (and needs)

I'm hopping back and forth through Innocent When You Dream: The Tom Waits Reader, and there is a questionnaire near the end where every response he gives is priceless. The following three, however, deserve special note:

VF: What is the quality you most like in a man?
TW: Generosity, irony, bravery, humor, madness, imagination, and the ability to take a punch.

VF: What is the quality you most like in a woman?
TW: Good bones, sharp teeth, big heart, black humor, full of magic, plenty of forgiveness, and a good sport.

VF: What do you most value in your friends?
TW: Jumper cables and a tow chain.
