If anything I consider myself an anarchist.

Every Friday I used to have about fifty, sixty kids who would wait for me on Sunset Boulevard and I'd take them all to dinner. All runaways.

What motivated me? My mother. My mother was an immigrant woman, a peasant woman, struggled all her life, worked in the garment center.

I think people need housing. And there's empty buildings, I think people should live in there. If you want to call them squatters, trespassers, hey, I call Wall Street thieves!

My secret for success? I don't know what the hell success means.

I'm more important to me than any body you can mention. Do you know that?

But find something that you absolutely love doing. And then get to love the way you do it. That's the uniqueness of all of us. That's it.
