Comedy is what happens when you cross the dateline from the unbearable. Things become so unbearable they become a joke.

Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.

I could never be a professional comedian, 'cause you have to keep telling the same jokes. For me, they're like word solos.

You realize that the first Bryan Ferry album was pretty good although at the time it seemed a bit cheesy.

I don't really have the gift of the sustained narrative that you need to write a book. I've tried a couple of times, and it just doesn't work. But I get some good passages, so what I'm going to do is just take sections out of them.
