I'm thinking of buying a church and changing it around: maybe selling crack and having a few whores in the pew.

I was looking in the mirror the other day and I realized I haven't changed much since I was in my twenties. The only difference is I look a whole lot older now.

Religion is a self-conferred intellectual decision; it's not something you get at birth and is unchangeable. You're collusive with the religion when you accept it; you have a choice.

When you're high, it's easy to kid yourself about how clever certain mediocre pieces of material are.

There are only two types of motorists: the idiots who drive slower than me, and the lunatics who go faster.

You can't fight City Hall, but you can goddamn sure blow it up.

There is a core of loneliness. It's partly existential. Secondly, I was raised a loner. My parents were not there. My father was asked to leave because he couldn't metabolize ethanol. Actually, my mother ran away with us when I was 2 months old and my brother was 5. Real dramatic stuff: down the fire escape, through backyards. So, I sort of raised myself. I was alone a lot and I invented myself - I lived through the radio and through my imagination.
