Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.

I'm trying to teach people of all ages to, number one: how to criticize, how to offer creative analysis on top of that, how to try to build things in a new direction and how to compliment people when the thing gets done.

I have spent my life going from mania to mania. Somehow it has all paid off.

Get the big truth first. If you get the big truth, the small truths will accumulate around it.

If you're reluctant to weep, you won't live a full and complete life.

Comic strips introduced me to metaphors. They are pure metaphor, so you learn how to tell a story with symbols, which is a very valuable thing to learn. And I learned that from motion pictures, too, and from poetry. Poetry is mainly metaphor. If it doesn't have a metaphor, it doesn't work.
