You know, I can't remember my good reviews. I remember negative ones. They stay in my mind.

I love things that are indescribable, like the taste of an avocado or the smell of a gardenia.

Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice.

I was a personality before I became a person - I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy and driven.

You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.

The idea of a liberal media bias is simply a myth. If only it were true, we might have a more humane, open-minded, and ultimately effective public debate on the issues facing the country.

I don't like the word 'superstar'. It has ridiculous implications. These words - star, stupor, superstar, stupid star - they're misleading. It's a myth.

Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.

When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.

Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.

Doubt can motivate you, so don't be afraid of it. Confidence and doubt are at two ends of the scale, and you need both. They balance each other out.

You made a choice—a single choice. How neat to think you may have opened the door to a wondrous future without knowing.

There can be no stronger proof of the impoverishment of our contemporary culture than the popular - though profoundly mistaken - definition of myth as falsehood.

Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.

The impossibility of conceiving that this grand and wondrous universe, with our conscious selves, arose through chance, seems to me the chief argument for 
the existence of God.

You can't simply redefine Jerusalem. The Palestinian claim is based on legality, on the international recognition that the situation created by the war in '67 is not valid.

My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'

I appreciate the female foot, but I've never said that I have a foot fetish. But I am a lower track guy. I like legs' I like booties'. I have a black male sexuality.

We got food stamps. Glad to get the food stamps. Why wouldn't you want to get free money?

I quite liked Sharkey and George and then there was a cartoon with rapper MC Hammer in it - Hammertime - I loved that cartoon, it was genius! They don't make cartoons like that anymore.

I grew up counterculture. I'm essentially a hippie, and I'm essentially a folkie.
