I wish people would call poisons poison. I don't mind people smoking marijuana, but they should admit it's a poison, and coffee's a poison, but the Americans lie so.

There's really nothing wrong with sentimentality... Nothing I wrote is sentimental.

Actually, television tells you to take dope. It tells you to destroy the human race really, by first having more consumers and then consuming more poison and then making the whole planet uninhabitable.

I am against all machines. It's no wonder that so many Americans go on dope when they have no other cultural stimulus than a television.

I've never been in fashion. Not at all.

As always, I wonder if I'll get through the winter. Then when winter is over, I wonder about the summer. But that's because the system decided which author shall be commercially successful. As I said, the most vicious of them all is The New York Times, because it pretends to be literary and impartial, and it's really this opinionated, myopic, stupid giant of incompetence.

The New York Times is the worst newspaper in the world and it's extremely vicious to artists.
