I'm still a little bent, a little crooked, but all things considered, I can't complain.

The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.

I've wanted to feel pleasure to the point of insanity. They call it getting high, because it's wanting to know that higher level, that godlike level. You want to touch the heavens, you want to feel glory and euphoria, but the trick is it takes work. You can't buy it, you can't get it on a street corner, you can't steal it or inject it or shove it up your ass, you have to earn it.

What I've realized over the years is that I have some pretty good friends.

Changing and inventing new things is great. That's what we like to do.

In the middle of the last century there was a reason to go to war. This time around the war was a really bad idea and I think the only people that benefited from it were Halliburton and people that made money from it, but that's not an excuse to have a war. Killing American kids so Halliburton can make money is not a righteous reason to go to war.

Once you've seen a solution to the disease that's tearing you apart, relapsing is never fun.
