I've never really been a part of anything but my own project.

I've just been livin' a normal life, going shopping, going out, gettin' pissed. I keep sitting on my arse doing nothing.

Everyone grows, everyone has their moments and stuff.

I can secretly dance, I think. But no one has seen me so I don't know if that's a fair judgment for me to say.

Fundamentalism is a 20th-century phenomenon, but that kind of religious fervor actually has not always been associated with conservative goals.

I always read the Capitol as f—ked up pansexuality, everybody is doing everybody. Back to Greek and Roman times! It’s all happening.

When you're young, the silliest notions seem the greatest achievements.

We need the real, nation-wide terror which reinvigorates the country and through which the Great French Revolution achieved glory.
