Film spectators are quiet vampires.

There may be a time when we'll attend Weather Theaters to recall the sensation of rain.

I've always thought comparisons were useless and ugly. It is a short cut to thinking.

People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it.

I think that phrase is the most horrible phrase in the English language - 'I don't know.' It's terribly embarrassing.

Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence.

I want to have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
