As soon as I discovered weightlifting, all I wanted to do - my plan in life - was to work out, lay on the beach, and get high... smoke dope. And that's really what I'm doing.

I've always known, all my life, that I was going to be something special. I never knew what it was, but I always had that feeling. I think my mother installed it when I was a little guy.

You can't become a dictator through checks and balances.

I'm dancing tango, and I'm playing golf, and I'm quite active, you know, and for my age and everything, and what I've gone through, I'm very happy.

Activism, to me, I don't know if it really works. It may work for somebody else, but it does not work for me.

I've been a good boy, I've never really been convicted of serious crime.

When they put me in jail, that's when they turned me into an activist. Up until the time I went to jail, I was just a comedian.
