I know that collector types can be a pain in the neck and seem perpetually frozen in time - or at least in their parents' basement - but someone has to look out for the past, lest it slip away forever.

I've never raped or killed anybody, or hurt a kid. I've done all the more inept, high-volume stuff - like, "Whoops, sorry I came in your hair. Don't worry, I won't use your name when I tell this story on stage."

When I am in Africa, I realize I don't know much, have not seen much, and there's a lot to be done.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

The tasks I set out for myself are what I do to beat the perfect pointlessness of life.

There is no way you are going to be forgiven for blowing up a village and killing a bunch of people.

No one should die when they're 50.
