I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.

If I don't like somebody's looks, I don't like them.

You're beautful. Yes you are, you're very very beautiful. Extremely beautiful.

I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.

A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.

I don't regard my career as something so precious that it comes before my convictions.

I discovered at the age of six that everything was a phony, worked with mirrors. Since then, I've always wanted to be a magician.
