My tolerance for crazy people is, I think, high a tolerance as you're ever going to find. I love being around David Allen Coe. I would have loved to hang out with Tiny Tim. I can listen to Sun Ra on a tape-recording rant.

It's amazing to me how many people think that voting to have the government give poor people money is compassion. Helping poor and suffering people yourself is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral, self-righteous, bullying laziness.

Exploration of space is worth it because humans need to explore. Knowledge is always good, and it's a really cool thing to see.

I love the idea that horror and fear is a celebration of health and life.

I love when violent, dangerous art is done by people who are not violent and dangerous. I love that when George Romero was making 'Dawn of the Dead,' he was coaching his son's little league team.

TV networks are dying. The death throes of religion give us jihads. The death throes of television give us reality shows.

If you spend a lot of time lying to people, you think a lot about what the truth means.
