Early in life, I was visited by the bluebird of anxiety

In certain areas I don't function well and in other areas I function very well. I'm very good professionally. I have good discipline, I'm able to write every day and do films and not go six times over the budget. I mean I'm a coherent person, but I also don't like to go through tunnels when I travel. I'm claustrophobic.

This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, Doc, my brother’s crazy. He thinks he’s a chicken. The doctor says, Well, why don’t you turn him in? And the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. Well I guess that’s pretty much how I feel about relationships. You know they’re totally irrational and crazy and absurd but I guess we keep going through it because, uh, most of us need the eggs.

I've never been an intellectual but I have this look.

I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead - not sick, not wounded - dead.

I want to return to the womb, anyone's.

Life is short. Short, and not about anything except what you can touch and what touches you.
