In a perverse way, it's very patriarchal to think that women can't be malicious or violent.

I think my sense of humor is Jewish. I'm smarter than most white people, which is kind of a Jewish thing, too.

I definitely don't know why men are turned-on by lesbianism.

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

A primary flaw in my psychology is that I'll give people a hundred yards' worth of rope with which to hang themselves, but once they reach that hundred-yard line, I strangle them to death with it.

I could have completely lost my mind or became a junkie or abandoned all sense and judgment and committed some rash, stupid act that would have sent me right back into the cage. Instead, I chose to be happy - but not so much for the sake of happiness as for spite.

Anyone who's ever had the misfortune of seeing me interact with house pets knows I have a wickedly strong paternal instinct bordering on the maternal.
