Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.

My father warned me about men and booze but he never said anything about women and cocaine.

Do you know what my ambition is in life? To be without ambition. As far back as I can remember I've been absolutely hag-ridden. I'd like to attain the state of mind that the Indians call Nirvana. That, for me, would happen if I were free of ambition.

I'm not at my best when I moralize or philosophize. Logic is elusive, especially to one who so rarely uses it.

I think the Republican party should be placed in drydock and have the barnacles scraped off its bottom.

A Republican. A Republican. That's worse than being a goddamned Communist!

I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess.
