I am savage about what has been done to the United States by its rulers.

The period of Prohibition - called the noble experiment - brought on the greatest breakdown of law and order the United States has known until today. I think there is a lesson here. Do not regulate the private morals of people. Do not tell them what they can take or not take. Because if you do, they will become angry and antisocial and they will get what they want from criminals who are able to work in perfect freedom because they have paid off the police.

Monotheism is easily the greatest disaster to befall the human race.

The United States is my subject, but as Hawthorne once wrote, "the United States are suited for many admirable purposes, but not to live in."

Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.

I'm in Hollywood right now, surrounded by nothing but the sons and grandsons of movie stars.

If the splitter of hairs has a sharp enough knife, the fact of life itself can be chopped into nothing.
