Even then, our family was extraordinary, with ten kids.

We've had the same set designer and the same crew in many cases since 1972.

The point is, when you have a chance to have a big adventure, especially if, like in your case, it doesn't hurt anyone, it's just plain foolish not to take it.

Restless, and in desperate need of adventure, I quit my job at an insurance company to travel west with a couple of guys I smoked pot with, scandalizing my family.

The first things I did when I got out of school in '65 was to buy a pair of Levis and pierce my ears.

It was there that, through a mutual friend, I met John Waters - proving what I've always said: you meet the best people on field trips.

Children would only get in the way of our erotic lifestyle!

If there's a heaven, I would probably go. I've actually a very nice person.

You don't have to tell anybody a damn thing you don't want to.

But some things are the same. My mother still owns the house I grew up in, on what would now be called a cul de sac, but which the sign on the corner called a dead end street.

I met John when I was 18 and I was in my first John Waters film when I was 19.

I loved it when my heart beat quickly and erratically. Yet I found this performance, which was deeply poetic, more enjoyable.

Remember, a person's character is not only judged by the company he or she keeps but also by the company he or she avoids.

Copyrights do not and cannot trump publicity rights, they are mutually exclusive

There's more money on the left in media than there is on the right.

We are tired who follow after fantasy and truth that flies: You with only look and laughter stain our hearts with richest dyes.

I'm also pretty impressive when I'm shoving the neck of a lute into someone's chest cavity.

Live in such a way, that if someone speaks badly of you no one would belive it. Playing dress-up begins at age five and never truly ends.

The artist who gives up an hour of work for an hour of conversation with a friend knows that he is sacrificing a reality for something that does not exist.

Artificial intelligence is a tool, not a threat

Let a good person do good deeds with the same zeal that an evil person does bad ones.
