I'm not making an enemy; I'm keepin' one.

If it's OK to register cars and license drivers, why is it not OK to impose similar legal responsibilities on gun owners?

As far as where I go when I die, the concept that I am simple going to flick out, like a light bulb, to me is not only spiritually impossible to believe, but logically it is laughable - the idea that we simply die and nothing happens.

What Darwin was too polite to say, my friends, is that we came to rule the earth not because we were the smartest, or even the meanest, but because we have always been the craziest, most murderous motherfuckers in the jungle.

I never saw any of my dad's stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts.

I go where the story leads. And, sometimes, it is a little bit outrageous. And I relish that. I sort of want to be as much on the edge as I can.
