I realized [using my own voice] is what creates the performance in the performance art and that's what helps creates the distance for the viewers, like the distance that I get when I step back.

Sometimes you divorce a part of yourself to save yourself emotionally.

If I want to do something in the TV industry, I should be allowed to explore that, but not in a way where it has to cancel out or ruin my visual art career.

Every artist's world is an individual experience and no one thing can prepare you. You have to go in and go where those roles lead you - just allow it to happen and follow your path.

Sometimes I just cringe. I can feel the emotion, that whole anxiety of being in this new world that I sort of evolved into. I would just do it, put it out there, and go for it.

As artists, sometimes our work is chaotic; we don't easily communicate our needs to other people in a way that they understand.

There's none so blind as those who won't see.

No amount of false propaganda can sanitize meat.

I would just listen to records and learn what I could, then just roll it over and over and over.

We can be civil. We can still be friends, and be Democrats and Republicans, and have different views.

If there is one thing I object to, its actors talking about how tough their jobs are.

I've had the fame and the joy of getting laughter - those are gifts.

And I want to be able to - you know, make Republicans and Democrats famous for keeping jobs in California

The two great movements of our century -- towards Liberty of the individual and social co-operation of the whole community -- are summed up in Anarchist-Communism.

I guess somehow I got a reputation of being able to dance.
