Catholic, which I was until I reached the age of reason

We kind of shape our truths as we speak them. We fashion things to suit the occasion or the person or our own needs in the moment.

The fact that I didn't finish school left me with a lifelong need to prove that I'm smart, prove it to myself, maybe to the world. I [also] needed to be - not the center of attention - but I needed to be able to attract attention when I wanted it, through my stunts and my fooling around physically with faces or postures or voices I would do. Those things are important elements in the drive behind all of this [my career].

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me a choice, did ya there buddy?

I don't have any beliefs or allegiances. I don't believe in this country, I don't believe in religion, or a god, and I don't believe in all these man-made institutional ideas.

The angles of my body show you an awful lot. I started doing coke to feel open, but by that time, the hole had opened so wide that I'd fallen through. The body language in those photos tells you everything.

Hey! Who stole my collection of used bandages?! And they also got away with my nude pictures of Ernest Borgnine!
