I believe that the obsessive worship of movie, TV and sports figures is less likely to produce spiritual gain than praying to Thor.

I work from a deep sense of insecurity. I have the belief, and I can't shake it, that there are endless reasons to turn the channel. There are hundreds of channels and entirely other things to do besides TV. And if you make a bad television show there's no reason for the audience to come back the following week.

Love, sex, food, friendship, art, play, beauty and the simple pleasure of a cup of tea are all well and good, but never forget that God/the universe is determined to kill you by whatever means necessary.

Life is never quite like the brochure.

I believe that the laws of karma do not apply to show business, where good things happen to bad people on a fairly regular basis.

I believe I'm growing skeptical of cynicism.

I am wired on some deep level to seek out something to be worried and obsess about.
