For my most of my career I've been a falling-down drunk. Most of my interviews were done hungover, and for a while it was great.

I've done the performing monkey stuff and massive breakdowns, it's just they weren't documented.

I’ve never seen the need to choose one type of music at the exclusion of another. That would feel kind of sad and arbitrary.

All human belief systems are inherently flawed.

I like the humility that comes from being hated. Hopefully some humility and compassion comes out of that.

You could almost say that throughout human history there are people who can either foresee consequences or who are capable of looking for information and predicting the consequences will happen, but the vast majority of people won't respond to climate change until their city is underwater, food supply is disrupted or everyone around them is dying of zoonotic disease. It's almost like someone dealing with an addiction, like you hope that the person can overcome the addiction before the addiction kills them.

I'm like a monk with a taste for hookers.
