People always ask me what I'm doing on the subway, but I love it! Sometimes I like to ride in the front car and look out the window at the rats.

I have no interest in cars. I have a plain, used Buick. I could run over 10 people, and you wouldn't be able to describe my car.

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

I wish something on T.V. would trouble me. Then maybe I would watch it.

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.

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.

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.

You go to school to figure out who you want to be and how you can do it, and [maybe] I should have, because the films would probably be technically better.

It took me a while to figure it out, but to have a real hit on Broadway, you have to get the respected Broadway people to like it. But then the production also has to appeal to the most middle-class people who know nothing about Broadway and who come to see it later.

I could never kill myself. I approve of suicide if you have horrible health. Otherwise it's the ultimate hissy fit.

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

Coke didn't last long enough it gave me a hangover for two weeks for being high for ten minutes.

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.

Insider can be more ludicrous. How did I ever end up [as one]? Carsick [Waters's book on hitchhiking] was on the New York Times best-seller list for five weeks. [One of the characters was] a singing asshole that does a duet with Connie Francis! Times have changed. That's mainstream, in a weird way.

[My catholic education] sticked with me. It caused the rage I had to make 'Pink Flamingos.'

My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior - before the Reformation.

Maybe I'll just write books. I'd like to make another movie, but I don't want to go back and [do] what they want you to do, to make it for a million dollars. I did that. I don't need a lot, but I need what I used to get, and they don't give you that anymore.

Shutting down governments on your computer is just as much as fun as going to a riot at Yale.

Well cult is a word you would never say in Hollywood. In any film business, if you're trying to get your next film made, you would never say, Oh, my last film was a cult film. I'd say, Oh great, well I hope this one isn't!
