Quote

Valentine's Day is my mother's birthday. If I'm wildly in love, I've sent people chicken hearts, which seems to appeal to the kind of person that I've been in love with.

I always wanted to be a juvenile delinquent but my parents wouldn't let me.

There are little things that get on my nerves, like people who have reading material in their powder room. When you go in someone’s house, and next to the toilet they have a huge basket of magazines, I find that repellent. I recommend against straining while reading.

Don’t sleep with people who don’t read.

Stop blaming your parents. If you're really angry at 60 years old, you're an idiot! You've got to work some of it out.

I've always tried to keep reinventing myself and to keep appealing to young people and when I go to colleges now and do my spoken-word show it's astounding to me how I get older and the audience gets younger. To me, that's the best compliment. That's better than money, that's better than anything.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I don't have to do anything except bring wine and go to my sister's all day and go to the movies with the family. So, actually, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but there's not much comedy material on Thanksgiving. Melatonin really isn't that funny.

A lot of kids are moving to Baltimore, because we have a great music scene and we've got edge. Come on down, we've got scary edge. But great edge - it's still a city you can be a bohemian in.

I make independent movies. I don't know how to do anything else. I don't know any other job that I could really get.

Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so I could have an abortion.

The anger I have about high school - which I do have because they discouraged every interest I ever had actually I call it anti-education - that anger led to my career.

I am on the road all the time. Whether I'm in Paris or in a small college town in Texas, I can't tell the difference, and that's good. You don't have to leave where you were born to be cool anymore.

My idea of rich is that you can buy every book you ever want without looking at the price and you're never around assholes. That's the two things to really fight for in life.

I used to joke that I was trying to sell out, and nobody would buy me.

Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.

When I started my goal was to make a successful underground movie. I started making movies in the mid-60s. Underground cinema then only lasted about two or three years.

I've signed peoples' parole cards at book signings and it's very touching.

No comedy should be longer than 90 minutes. There's no such thing as a good long joke.
