The need to document my insanity is an affliction I have not yet cured myself of.

There is so much in the world to hate, why hate yourself?

I'm completely optimistic - I know the end is coming!

I think it's important to encourage gluttony in all its formats.

I'm a total pleasure seeker. I pursue anything that satisfies me. I usually get it. I have specific needs and I know what they are so I can achieve satisfaction.

I'm nihilistic, antagonistic, violent, horrible - but not obliterated, yet. I just refuse to be beaten down. I think it's stubborness that keeps me going.

I used to think feminism was a liberating force - now I see many of those people are just censors under a different name.

Just because my bank account hasn't swelled astronomically I don't consider myself any less of a success.

The female format is a beautiful one in which to function. Foolhardy as it may be. I change my image all the time, it's whatever suits me at the moment.

Part of the charm of what I do is the fact that its completely unrelated to everything that came before.

Think your own thoughts.

I always keep a supply of stimulant handy in case I see a snake - which I also keep handy.

I used to joke that if acting didn't work out, poetry was my commonsense fallback.

If you're sufficiently tenacious and interested, you can accomplish what you want to accomplish in this world.

Many might go to heaven with half the labour they go to hell, if they would venture their industry the right way.

Every writer at the New Yorker is smarter than me.

I wish that television would stop selling our hatred of ourselves, and start seducing us with our love of ourselves.

I think guitar-wise, Eric Clapton was a big influence on me. I got to spend time around him. He's kind of strange, mysterious, serious and he always has played such hot guitar.

I think Mozart, like you, is an example of someone who has the gods moving through him, and his religion was creation.

The nurses at the hospital tried to soothe me, and they even tried unsuccessfully at one point to return me to Americans.

I also quite like to be recognized by children; I find it sweet.
