I think America, really, is over.

In a competitive society, the thing people fear the most is love.

If you're a writer, you have to be an egomaniac. You have to just believe in yourself, which is hard work.

There are no manners left in America at all, because all you're doing is kicking the person next to you so that you can consume more, see more, and get more.

I am against all machines. It's no wonder that so many Americans go on dope when they have no other cultural stimulus than a television.

I think fame is something that you've achieved in your inner self that becomes known to others outside you. There are really very few famous people in history.

I don't think it's like eastern mysticism, which leaves the person whole. It's really another form of cancer, television.

No one looks at a television, and no one hears it. It's a poison.

I've never been in fashion. Not at all.

When I was a kid, I was afraid of other kids.

A 'modern' man has nothing to add to modernism, if only because he has nothing to oppose it with. The well-adapted drop off the dead limb of time like lice.

Wine sets even a thoughtful man to singing, or sets him into softly laughing, sets him to dancing. Sometimes it tosses out a word that was better unspoken.

We put out a live thing, it seemed more like a bootleg though but, it would be nice to see like a concert filmed with like good cameras you know, instead of just DV cams.

You are exactly like Jesus when you are wearing his armor.

I liked you because you could make me smile. I fell in love with you because you made me want to be a better person. Now that you're leaving me, what am I supposed to do?
