I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.

I've been a weirdo since I was a kid.

I personally have a background of many days on end of confusion, understimulation, overstimulation, and uncomfortableness with the world around me.

I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything.

There is always the personal, simple happiness that doesn't happen.

The grave itself is but a covered bridge, Leading from light to light, through a brief darkness!

They are still trying to bomb with artillery and rocket-propelled grenades to hit the Republican Guard who are controlling Saddam International Airport.

Be fearful when the markets get greedy, be greedy when the markets get fearful.
