The economy is just a metaphorical device, it’s not real. That's why it's got the word con in it.

It doesn't matter how many pairs of shoes you have, how many cars you have, etc.... It's all utterly meaningless and yet we continue to pursue this. Why? Because they've learned they can stimulate our primal desires through selling us products.

Imagining the overthrow of the current political system is the only way I can be enthused about politics.

When I was growing up, I thought I'd be a lot happier if I was famous and successful and if I had money.

And I don't think we should be continuing to propagate the idea that famous people are magical or special because it makes people feel like their lives ain't no good.

The thing for me is, what if one returns to these maxims, these rather simplistic maxims "Be the change you want to see in the world." Because what canvas have we but the self for these kind of explorations, ultimately.

I struggle in these situations not to let my madness govern me, and to let the positive aspects of my character define my life.
