This idea that people have to love and understand each other is absurd. It's not human nature.

Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.

Tourism as a number-one industry is a terrible, terrible idea for any city, especially New York. If you were going to turn a city, which is a place where people live, into a tourist attraction, you're going to have to make it a place that people who don't live here, like. So I object to living in a place for people who don't live here.

Whenever someone accuses someone of being a racist - which is rare, you have to admit, considering how much racism there is - there is an incredible outrage. I realized that we live in an environment that it seems to be worse to call someone a racist than to be one.

There's too much democracy in the culture, not enough in the society.

I am not... totally unreceptive to colour providing it makes its appearance quietly, deferentially, and without undue fanfare.

Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn't have to put them in prisons?
