Sometimes I would get invited to a party or to go out to dinner by one of them and I would decline. Part of me wanted to go, but those kind of outings always made me feel even more alienated than usual. Hearing them talk made me feel lonely and hateful at the same time. Lonely because I didn't fit in, never did. When I was reminded, it hurt. And hateful because it reaffirmed what I already knew, that I was alone and on the outside.

I just want to be able to stand up straight for a little while before I get cut down.

There's nothing new about the government protecting corporations and calling it the freeing of the world or bringing democracy to bereft nations. Nowadays, the media have to be there for them, to keep you from asking too many questions, from getting together with other people who might want to do the Jeffersonian thing and call out the government.

I am a pretty crazy person, so it's best for me to be on my own most of the time.

You can pass all the gun legislation you want. None of it will make me feel any more or less safe than I do right at this moment.

If I'm in L.A. for longer than 20 days, I'm looking for work, because I don't do vacations.

I thought I was gonna be in the minimum-wage working world all my life.
