A good artist's always got his hand in his zipper.

I never had aspirations to go into politics or medicine. I always wanted to be an artist of some sort. I wasn't so politically motivated. I felt that the world from an early age was disappointing. My father taught me about the bomb, and it was eye-opening. From then on, I thought grown-ups needed to do a better job. I still think that.

I really don't want somebody writing something positive about me if they don't believe in it. I'd rather somebody write something real mean. I like reading bad stuff, it gets me excited. In fact, the only reviews I keep are the bad ones 'cause I think they're the cool ones.

My father was a dreamy fellow - he read Plato and Socrates and watched Phillies games.

I like my time on earth. And no matter what kind of cards I've been dealt, I'm happy to be there.

An artist wears his work in place of wounds.

I'm here right now and I want now to be the greatest time.
