The United States, per capita, at a certain period in its history, had the most junkies of any country ever in the world - right after the Civil War. The most brutal war, the greatest amount of casualties that America's ever had.

If anything I consider myself an anarchist.

As long as you gave it your best shot, even if in the opinion of others 'you failed,' you didn't fail.

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!

America gets the politicians they deserve. That's it. And you keep struggling.

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

I know who I am. I don't have to brag. I know what I contributed. I know what I did. You think you can do it better? Hey, go right ahead. The stage is yours.
