I think [H. P. Lovecraft] knew the whole gamut. He just didn't believe any of it! He probably liked to use the esoteric stuff because he knew it would tick people off and freak them out.

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.

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.

One who has hope lives differently.

If only you could fully grasp how valuable, how limited and how unique every moment of your life is, you would never stand as still as a statue even a single moment because action is real living!

Republicans talk a good game about veterans, but when it came to put money on the line to protect our veterans, frankly, they were not there.

If I made a mistake in singing a song or in the script, I could have some fun with it, then retain any of the fun that sounded amusing.

She wondered if, when human souls try to get too near each other, they do not inevitably become mere blurs to each other's vision.

The beer tastes better when you win

I don't create blurs. Blurring is not the most important thing; nor is it an identity tag for my pictures.

You know where nice people end up? On welfare.

I want to do music the rest of my life.

Many of my family members are teachers in the arts, and I picked up the camera years ago, in high school.
