I have always preferred the company of older people. No one in the history of the world has had less interest in the young than I do. I am not interested in what young people are thinking. They're thinking less than old people, of course. I mean, what could they be thinking? And what are they doing? They're doing the same stupid things you did.

Having been unpopular in high school is not just cause for book publications.

Because of the Internet everybody sees the same stuff. You can buy the clothes of New York, even if you're not living there. So I think that the accessibility, in this case, drives buying choices more than anything else.

What I can't be is monogamous. That tends to upset people. I just don't like domestic life.

Vegetables are interesting but lack a sense of purpose when unaccompanied by a good cut of meat.

Large, naked, raw carrots are acceptable as food only to those who live in hutches eagerly awaiting Easter.

Do not, on a rainy day, ask your child what he feels like doing, because I assure you that what he feels like doing, you won't feel like watching.
