Outcasts may grow up to be novelists and filmmakers and computer tycoons, but they will never be the athletic ruling class.

You can't go into the office and be a jerk. You can't yell at your kids or your wife or your husband for no reason. That makes you a terrible person.

It was the kind of love you can only feel toward someone you don't actually know.

It doesn't matter what you can do if you don't know why you're doing it.

I can tell when I've met a bad journalist when they say, "I've met Madonna," or "I know Marilyn Manson." Because I haven't met anyone I've ever interviewed. I've sat down in the position of an interviewer, and they've sat down in the position of an artist trying to promote a product. We have no relationship. I'm able to ask them questions I'd never be allowed to ask them if we were casual friends. It's a completely constructed kind of situation.

Even eternally free people are enslaved by the process of living.
