I really wanted to study with Bruce Goff [one of the masters of "organic architecture"] at the University of Oklahoma.

I could do Superman, the Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, this kind of stuff [at school]. And kids would give me their lunch money to have these things.

My father knew all about this stuff [C.W. Leadbeater]. I owe a lot of what I'm doing, I think, to him. I'm sort of continuing my father's work.

I like Colin Wilson, mainly because he never went to school. When you don't go to school you can say anything you want like that and not have to worry.

You know, in the suburbs, most people believe in gravity, but they don't have much of a sense of humor.

Boston is not an avant garde place. It stays literally 15 to 20 years behind New York at all times.

I always had a sense of liking diagrams, from the time I was studying architecture. Architecture is built diagrams, basically.

In other words, [ H.P. Lovecraft] was areligious, asexual, neurasthenic, he just didn't want to react to the world. Like Virginia Woolf, who considered religion the ultimate obscenity.

Long John I think went off the air in about '79 or something, so there was a hiatus. That's why I think Art Bell thought there was a spot to be filled. He was doing exactly the same thing.

I first heard of [Orfeo Angelucci] from Giuseppe Conti who gave me some books by him.

I did do, well before Pop Art, all the cartoon characters as paintings.

Three boys. Three deaths. One school. We've made the national news. Is out school cursed? Are we a reckless bunch of fools? The media asks questions no one can answer. Kids can't stop crying.

I do not know what makes a writer, but it probably isn't happiness.

The world is held together by lies. When I paint, I'm searching for the truth between them, but I'm no better at this than anyone else. Worse, probably.

Sometimes another person’s fear tells you that everything you're about to do is right.

I love my dad, although I'm definitely critical of him sometimes, like when his pants are too tight. But I love him so much and I try to be really supportive of him.

Wealth is like rheume, it falles on the weakest parts.

Henceforth the adequacy of any military establishment will be tested by its ability to preserve the peace.

My short-term vision is the abolition of nuclear weapons. My long-term vision is the abolition of war.

I much prefer to watch actors and writers create "humanizing" moments for characters. In a drama, "humanizing" is far more impactful and powerful than "redeeming."

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.
