I am available to all women - all women who can afford me, that is.

I don't trust or love anyone. Because people are so creepy. Creepy creepy creeps. Creeping around. Creeping here and creeping there. Creeping everywhere.

I don't drink any coffee or take any drugs and I don't smoke cigarettes and I don't eat sugar and I don't take any medicine at all. I eat a lot of fish, vegetables, and I stay away from starches.

I never apologized for anything in my life. The only thing I'm sorry about is putting a curse on Roger Ebert's colon. If a fat pig like Roger Ebert doesn't like my movie, then I'm sorry for him.

I'm the happiest the saddest guy in the world can be.

I never wanted to be an actor. I never want to be an actor. I want to be a movie star. The whole idea of having to act is too gruesome. It's too ambitious for me.

I constantly try to reinvent my sensibilities and my ideas. I enjoy some of the satisfaction that I get when I feel good about what I've done. But the process is quite lonely and quite painful.

My parents were dishonest people. If it was my birthday, I knew my mother took me to the K-Mart and she stole my toy. She'd put it in the shopping cart and we'd walk out. I was raised with that.

I want to thank Gus Van Sant for selling out so that I could use his editor Curtis Clayton, who did a great job.

I stopped painting in 1990 at the peak of my success just to deny people my beautiful paintings. And I did it out of spite.

I'm sort of like a maniac, and I can't get out of it.

...the real purpose of running isn’t to win a race. It’s to test the limits of the human heart.

You're trying to fight gravity on a planet that insists that love is like falling, and falling is like this.

What is common to our societies is the development into a managed mass society, with big bureaucracy, managing people. The Russians do it by force. We do it by persuasion.

A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.

Fasting will break poverty from your life.

If my songs are being listened to between any other songs, that is awesome, and I'm glad people are getting something out of them.

Life's a lot easier when you're dumb.

I think if I'm ever asked to recall what Year 12 was all about, I'll remember it as one big cappuccino experience.

The Holocaust is not only a tragedy of the Jewish people, it is a failure of humanity as a whole.

The ring of a false coin is not more recognizable than that of a rhyme setting forth a false sorrow.
