I have a deep suspicion of social institutions and tradition in general.

I don't like the antagonism that most religions have for science, and freedom and, frankly, individuality. I do like the Dalai Lama.

There's absolutely no way that something I do on my own is going to be seen in Malaysia.

I want to be tolerant of other people's beliefs. I have wonderful friends who are religious, and I don't want to say that they're dimwits. They should certainly be able to pursue what works for them. I'm just saying that it doesn't work for me and I don't want to pretend that it does.

Men often struggle with their attraction to other women. They don't quite understand why they have to be with the same woman forever.

There's a built-up tension in religion, and if you can release it, you'll get a huge and satisfying laugh.

I'm enthralled by the national yearning that the Russians had during the 50s and 60s. The whole century was pretty rough for them. They suffered genocide, war, poverty, and half the population was sent to labor camps. But they were determined to get into space first.
