I can't tell you how many times people - through the anonymity and safety of the Internet, of course - have told me 'You beat women' as if it was an ongoing, daily thing. The only person ever brave enough to say it to my face quickly surrendered his courage when I said, 'Would you like to step outside and see if I can beat men, too?'

What's absolutely impossible to prove is the idea of innate and everlasting equality.

I'll hit anyone who's seriously threatening my life... that's what happened, and that's what sent me to prison.

I don't regret any of my transgressions, because I believe I paid for them a million times over.

I still partially suffer from the delusion that if you explain things logically and systematically, most people will abandon their emotional prejudices and respond to logic. But I don't suffer from that delusion as wholeheartedly as I did in the past. So if there's a fundamental difference, it's that I've accepted the fact that most imbeciles will never 'get' me and I shouldn't allow myself to get so upset about it.

The criticism that has most consistently bothered me is the allegation that I'm a schlockmeister whose only objective is to shock people.

What's good and bad, sweet spirit, are in the eye of the beholder.
