It's a fun thing to do, to put yourself in the service of something if you think you can add an interpretation. It's no different than any other storytelling.

Stay crunchy, even in milk.

I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.

TV's like whitewater rafting: Without rocks, there wouldn't be rapids, and it wouldn't be as much fun.

I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar!

Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.

If I kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

When they asked me what I wanted to be I said I didn't know.

Humans, in the day that has been the Earth, have been here for less than a minute. We’re a late-night piss in the toilet, that’s all we are.

The theatre only knows what it's doing next week, not like the opera, where they say: 'What are we going to do in five years' time?' A completely different attitude.

First you don't want me to get the pony, then you want me to take it back. Make up your mind!

Had I not spent so much time doing something that made me so miserable, I would have never learned how to appreciate doing what brings me joy.

Because we all come from different circumstances, our life experiences really color how we view things.
