It's sort of my fun to sing along with records and imitate people who are on the telephone that have different ways of speaking.

I don't know why I don't watch a lot of movies; I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn't enough time in life.

This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really, there is no normal. There's only change and resistance to it and then more change.

I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.

I wonder which of the megaton bombs Jesus, our President's personal savior, would have personally dropped on the sleeping families of Baghdad?

I'm in show business. I believe in illusion and delusions and in holding aloft the bubble of a dream of some sort because, really, there are lots of reasons to look at the chasm. But art and music, these ineffables, they're just - they're the consolations of what human beings can create and make, and delight is accessible, you know, should you care to find it.

The work itself is the reward, and if I choose challenging work, it'll pay me back with interest. At least I'll be interested, even if nobody else is.
