Organized religions have all the facets of organized crime, except the compassion of organized crime.

I absolutely love the public transportation system in New York. No matter what, no matter how people complain, it is the best in the world.

I was not a good father in my first marriage. Although there are ways of deserting the family without leaving physically, I was deserted in my head. I was always out, always in the saloons, always drinking, always messing about.

I'm an alcoholic, recovering. And I used to smoke cigarettes, and I was a philanderer and I, wouldn't call myself good.

I see the way I look upon organized religion, I was a victim of that of mythology, and of cruelty, and all the absurd stuff.

To me a saint is a severely edited sinner. That's what I think.

To lose one parent is a tragedy, to lose both is utter carelessness.
