Retirement is a very subjective thing. There are guys I know who retire and they're very happy and they never miss work at all. I can't see myself retiring and fondling a dog every day. I like to get up and work and go out. I have too much energy or too much nervous anxiety or something. So I don't see myself retiring. Maybe I will suddenly get a stroke or a heart attack and I will be forced to retire, but if my health holds out I don't expect to retire.

I was in analysis for years because of a traumatic childhood; I was breast-fed through falsies.

I can levitate birds. No one cares.

Tradition is the illusion of permanance.

Does art imitate life, or does life imitate TV?

Believing would be easier if God would show himself by depositing a million dollars in a Swiss bank account in my name

That's the way I feel about the world: there are certain problems that can only be dealt with that way - going out and doing them. As ugly a truth as that is, I do think it's the truth about the world.
