Art is supposed to punch you in the brain, and it's supposed to stay punched.

What appealed to me was the intimacy of the medium, the fact that I was doing it from my home, and the fact that I wanted to talk. I was not there to plug things. I don't do a hell of a lot of research. I go on a sort of kindred-spirit bonding that preexists the interview, and just see what unfolds.

I feel bad for people who have never been addicted to anything, because they're the real losers. You want to know why? Because they don't know what it's like to really want something - and then get it again and again and again.

I live in Los Angeles, I know it exists. I know you're not supposed to taste air.

There's nothing more horrifying than the possibility or the idea that you will just fade away into obscurity.

Is it hard to make a living in show business? Yeah.

I sort of get tired of myself sometimes. When you're busy, your life becomes relatively small. But I don't really get tired of talking to other people.
