I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!

I was naturally a loner, content just to live with a woman, eat with her, sleep with her, walk down the street with her. I didn't want conversation, or to go anywhere except the racetrack or the boxing matches. I didn't understand t.v. I felt foolish paying money to go into a movie theatre and sit with other people to share their emotions. Parties sickened me. I hated the game-playing, the dirty play, the flirting, the amateur drunks, the bores.

As we go on with our lives we tend to forget that the jails and the hospitals and the madhouses and the graveyards are packed.

In a more universal sense, we only get one thing. You know...a head stone if we're lucky; if not, green grass.

I think that the world should be full of cats and full of rain, that's all, just cats and rain, rain and cats, very nice, good night.

there is enough treachery , hatred violence absurdity in the average human being to supply any given army on any given day

There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out.
