I went to a Catholic high school, which, to this day, I could burn down. And I got great revenge because they had their fiftieth anniversary, andThe Baltimore Sun called me and said, ‘What did you think of your high school?’ And I said, ‘They discouraged every interest I ever had.’ And I saw that in print.

If you ever go home with somebody and they don't have books in their house, don't sleep with them. I think that's very important.

There is right and there is wrong, I have NEVER been wrong.

Everything makes you who you are, so I was lucky that I had a good family that was horrified by what I wanted to do but was also supportive of it, right to the very end.

Wealth is walking into any bookshop and buying any book you want without looking at the price tag.

You see a kid making a film on a cell phone. He doesn't know what he's doing either. But it comes out kind of good.

I make a great part of my living by traveling and speaking. To me, it's like being a politician, you meet your audience, you constantly see the people and they're getting younger for me which is really, really encouraging. I get older and my audience gets younger. It couldn't be better.

And I seek people who break rules with happiness — and not bringing pain to themselves.

The way I photograph... in many ways it's directed by chance and all my mistakes, which are often the best stuff. I found that no matter if it's the same tape, the same TV, and the same camera, I can never duplicate an image... your arm jiggles, there's just too much chance. And I never put it on pause, or use any of that fancy equipment.

Image
I have spoken, and I was understood. It's not like I'm a tragic person who wasn't understood. All those books are in print, all those movies are still out there, the audience gets younger. So I don't have that I've got to do one thing before I die. I did it.

I go to colleges all the time in America, and everyone's gay, and I think how can this be? And it's only in rich schools. In poor schools, nobody's gay.

The only way I've learned to change anyone's mind politically is to make them laugh. My whole career has been about that.

I can't tell the difference between the best and the worst 'cause I realize not everybody wants to have sex in the middle of a demolition derby race in the car.

It isn't enough to shock. It's easy to shock. Real surprise is what I'm after.

As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any.

Life is a rotten lottery.

I'm an old person because I still buy DVDs. I have every one of my albums and 45s - I even have a couple of 33s and I do have a turntable. But I must admit, I don't listen to vinyl today. But I listen to all types of music.

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