But in the new (math) approach, the important thing is to understand what you're doing, rather than to get the right answer.

I'm not tempted to write a song about George W.Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write. That's the problem: I don't want to satirise George Bush and his puppeteers, I want to vaporise them. And that's not funny.

I didn't feel the need for anonymous affection, for people in the dark applauding. To me, it would be like writing a novel and then getting up every night and reading your novel. Everything I did is on the record and, if you want to hear it, just listen to the record.

Disclaimer: If anyone disagrees with anything I say, I am quite prepared to not only retract it, but also to deny under oath I ever said it.

If the hoods don't get you, the monoxide will.

I wish people who have trouble communicating would just shut up.

I know that there are people who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that!
