Misery, depression, elation all mine, refine confinement all my design.

I really like older writers, perhaps because they take me out of my element. I don't have a great deal of interest in reading a fictionalized present as it's pretty insane as it is.

The talking shows allow me to come out of my cave and that's why those shows go on for so long. I hate walking off stage. Sometimes I walk off and I miss them as I'm walking off the stage. I wonder if they'll let me go another hour. That's why I do it: to communicate, to get points across.

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.

I mean I appreciate fan mail and that the people like what I am doing but I can't answer it. If I would answer 25 letters a day I would be just a guy answering mail and not an artist anymore.

I'm just shallow and self-interested, and don't get out much because I'm afraid of real commitments.

I don't mind bees and think we are all the better for having them around. I like the taste of honey.
