Americans have been dumbed down to the point where more people watching 'American Idol' than listen to the state of the union address. And that's too bad.

What I'm saying is America has a job deficit because hundreds of thousands of jobs went elsewhere. Not because [Barack] Obama raised your taxes. He, in fact, lowered them. They are lower.

I never think of what it's going to be like later. I only think in the present tense. The only time I think backwards is when I have to reissue something.

I'd like to rid myself of writing, to surrender, to release the venom. And hopefully at some point, I'll be a happy, well-adjusted guy and I'll have no need for all that 'art.'

My whole access into culture was violent. Violence is something I understand. Don't like it, don't condone it, but I sure understand where it comes from.
