When the Woolworth's-Hot-Fudge-Sundae switch goes on, then I know I really have something.

I like boring things.

I like church. It's empty when I go. I walk around. There are so many beautiful Catholic churches in New York.

As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I've found that to be absolutely axiomatic.

...the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.

I'm seeking out a new way to live and if it's surfing, that's the way I'll do it. I'll be a surfer for the rest of my life.

The moment you label something, you take a step-I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabelled.
