I think the more stability a person has, the more they can follow esoteric or intellectual pursuits.

I don't like speed. I would have made a terrible Futurist. Even when I did take drugs, I never liked amphetamines and much preferred the slow taffy-pull of time that you get with opiates.

The earth has always supported me in all my endeavors. I trust it.

Sometimes you get lit students that know a lot about the canon but virtually nothing about contemporary poetry and vice versa. I like to mix things up.

Hate is a wounded heart.

We have one country, one Constitution and one future that binds us.

Like father like son, like mother like daughter!

The only way that entire car is worth 500 bucks is if there's a 300 dollar hooker sitting in it.

A man who will not die to save a woman is no man.

From the makers of Alien vs. Predator: Alien vs. Pingu. K9 - stop humping the toaster!

I think that Americans find the Australian humour and the energy of Australians very refreshing - we are quite self-deprecating, we're light-hearted and can have a laugh.
