I guess I'm drawn to religion because I can be provocative without harming something people really care about, like their cars.

I had a bumper sticker on my car for a long time that said, "Kill your television." People helpfully pointed out that I was a total fraud because I was a television writer.

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

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

To me, a mark of maturity is realizing that nobody runs the world. Fat cat politicians and secret conspiracies don't control our lives. In reality, the world is much more complex than that.

If there's reason for hope, it lies in man's occasional binges of cooperation. To save our planet, we'll need that kind of heroic effort, in which all types of people join forces for the common good

I guess I started to realize that being an agnostic was such a wimpy position.
