If someone offered me a hundred million dollars to make a movie? I would first remind him that there are 850 million people in the world who don't have enough to eat.

In our racist, sexist society, Christmas is the 8 hours when we stop killing each other and gratuitous over eating is encouraged so that the starving and other people in the world can die!

I like fat people more then I like thin people, things are always a lot more funnier when they happen to fat people.

My dark days made me strong. Or maybe I already was strong, and they made me prove it.

We all need to look into the dark side of our nature - that's where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we're busy denying.

It feels like I'm babysitting in the Twilight Zone. I keep waiting for the parents to show up because we are out of chips and diet cokes.

A long life may not be good enough, but a good life is long enough.

Hell is not filled with people who are deeply sorry for their sins. It is filled with people who for all eternity still shake their puny fist in the face of God Almighty.

In terms of a character, I would love to play a fairy. I think that would be really fun.

Revelation and the nature of truth must be viewed in reference to the structure of language.
