I don't go to different countries to criticise their political system and tell them what they should be doing - what do I know?

I enjoy performing, always, but when you're taping a gig, you've got to blank out this mass apparatus of self-consciousness that's surrounding you, this invitation to drown in self-consciousness. Otherwise you just won't be able to do anything.

Men look at breasts the way women look at babies. 'Aw, isn't that lovely?'

You can see desperation in people who are too eager to laugh because they're in such a hurry not to look at what's confronting them in their lives and that's kind of sad because there's a kind of pornographic aspect to it, of making some sort of pain go away, of hovering around a pain, making yourself numb, not feel anything.

I don't have lungs anymore! Just two spare bags that flew in under a bridge one day.

I can't swim. I can't drive, either. I was going to learn to drive but then I thought, well, what if I crash into a lake?

Women are like canoes, full of soup. At first everyone is suspicious but then everyone wants one.
