Quote

Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.

Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.

For me, the anarchy movement is hilarious. It's all under .org, which is of course government sponsored websites, and then they're all wearing corporate clothing from the Dr.Martin's to the back sacks and the cell phones, they're all flying around on corporate jets and using corporate highways. Very anarchistic!

It's an absurdity to just wish for a world of chaos without anything viable in its place. I'm loyal to my culture, my creed, the human race and my people and I don't want to see them all end up in a Mad Max movie.

Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.

I hate death it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.

Having a birthday cake squashed into your face by young kids? Delicious. I always don a Santa suit at Christmas. Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.

I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.

I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.

I'm very open about my politics. I don't believe in any political party at all, none of them.
