I don't feel that I decided deliberately I'm going to write something and have it stand alone. Somewhere by the end I think it would probably revert to imagery.

Art comes after the fact, as a witness to certain things that have happened.

Art can be a kind of therapeutic, or kind of a fantasy life, or wish fulfillment...o r creating this alternate universe. Art gives me the freedom to do that.

Forgiveness is the nature of my art in general. It's expressing love and compassion, the kinds of things that don't make sense in any other context other than emotive expression.

I don't want to express violence or anger or hate in my art. I want to express forgiveness.

There's always a latent or inferred image in my writing. And I can almost always assume if I do a drawing that it will eventually have text.

I don't drive often, because the parking makes it too much of a nuisance. And I could never go back to commuting or anything. I'd just get fed up with it.

No one can help me with my work. I think I do best when I am just left alone.

It's very rare that someone gets the death penalty for charges of conspiracy, for his influence, for his Svengali-Rasputin act.

On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.

The methods of peaceful protests are not capable of being effective, because in reality most people pay little attention to things that are not abrasive.

It is hard to come up with ideas that are achievable on a scale that you know you are going to have for an indie film but it also have some kind of hook.

If people around you aren't going anywhere, if their dreams are no bigger than hanging out on the corner, or if they're dragging you down, get rid of them.

I don't take a great deal of interest in party politics. Social politics interests me a great deal more.

I think that cynicism can often be mistaken for wisdom.

Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented. Jazz musicians enjoy themselves more than anyone listening to them does.
