I was once a student in a punk T-Shirt hooked on screwed-up scenarios. Thats how I became the esteemed cultural figure that I am today.

Political people don't solve stuff - not really. Political people are like guys in pop music.

My dream appliance circa 2050 has one big dial on it, and when I twist it to the right, my IQ goes up to 450.

Saying you have a political solution is like saying you can write a pop song that's going to stay at the top of the list forever. I don't have many illusions about this, but I'm not cynical about it.

Competence doesn't seem like a big deal until you are forced to realize that your own government has none.

I'm an entertainer in the military-entertainment complex.

My idea of an amusement park story is getting adventurers to go tour environmental disaster areas. After all, if the entire Great Barrier Reef gets killed, which seems like an extremely lively possibility, what are you going to do with all that rotting limestone?
