Life is great-I wouldn't know what I'd do without it.

I've played a murderer, so certainly I think I can play a Republican.

I have thought about punching people out. Sometimes, I've thought, 'Why don't I just act on that impulse?' But then, I've never hit anybody in anger. Hey! I've never hit anybody for fun.

Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.

Originality is unexplored territory. You get there by carrying a canoe - you can't take a taxi.

I've been lucky enough to live through all the things that are supposed to give meaning to our lives, like parenting, grandparenting, art, celebrity. All these things you expect meaning to come from, and sometimes it comes when you're not expecting it.

Loneliness is everything it's cracked up to be.
