I'm an old guy, and I was protesting during the Vietnam War. We killed fifty Asians for every loyal American. Every artist worth a damn in this country was terribly opposed to that war, finally, when it became evident what a fiasco and meaningless butchery it was.

Sometimes I think it is a great mistake to have matter that can think and feel. It complains so.

As stupid and vicious as men are, this is a lovely day.

I wasn't aware of Ku Klux Klan as I was aware of the widespread assumption that African-Americans were dumber than white people. I think my father believed that. I think everybody white did.

I have this disease late at night sometimes, involving alcohol and the telephone.

If facts weren't funny, or scary, or couldn't make you rich, the heck with them.

They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.
