I love Thich Nhat Hahn. One of my favorite quotes of his (and I’m paraphrasing), he’s talking about cultivating happiness, and he was saying, at the very least, just be happy you’re not at the dentist right now. He was talking to someone who was having a really hard time finding joy.

David Lynch is my friend, and I love his movies and his art and his music. Few things make me happier than working with him.

I'm straight, but I love going to house music clubs and flirting with women and gay men.

But when a man’s religion becomes really frantic; when it is a positive torment to him; and in fine, makes this earth of ours an uncomfortable inn to lodge in; then I think it high time to take that individual aside and argue the point with him.

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'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.

Better a loving single-parent family than a 'conventional' family where the parents hate each other and the father is a demagogue.
