Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park.

I'm afraid to look in the mirror. I'm afraid I'm going to see an old lady with white hair, just like the old ladies in the park. Alittle bundle in a black shawl just waiting for the coffin.

Television is democracy at its ugliest.

I'm a human being, god-dammit. My life has value!

God save us from people who do the morally right thing. It's always the rest of us who get broken in half.

The worst kind of censorship is the kind that takes place in your own mind before you sit down to a typewriter.

I'm not a great writer. I'm a great rewriter.
