Quote

Believing there's no God means I can't really be forgiven except by kindness and faulty memories. That's good it makes me want to be more thoughtful. I have to try to treat people right the first time around.

The vast majority of the world knows there's no reason to circumcise. Someone should tell the doctors.

Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, 'Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not?' But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.

Building a professional relationship on respect as opposed to affection is a very good idea. Running your art projects the way you'd run a dry-cleaning business is also a really good idea. You shouldn't go into work like you're going on a date, like you're hanging out with friends.

If you want to talk about magic, the stuff that blows me away is the stuff that's done close up.

Even if I disagree with Obama on many, many things, he is certainly qualified to be president. He is certainly competent to be president.

Whereas you have someone like Houdini, who works really, really hard to get really, really famous, and then has actual intellectual ideas that he puts into the culture that stay there.

If I had to imagine omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent power in the universe that chose to make my mother suffer, I don't know how I would make that make sense in the universe.

I love when violent, dangerous art is done by people who are not violent and dangerous. I love that when George Romero was making 'Dawn of the Dead,' he was coaching his son's little league team.

That's the beauty of the Web: You can roll around in a stranger's obsession without having to smell his or her house. You can amscray whenever you want without being rude. The site gets its hit and you know more about our species' diversity.

I didn't learn fire-eating to conquer my fears. I learned fire-eating because I desperately wanted to be in show business.

If you spend a lot of time lying to people, you think a lot about what the truth means.

The First Amendment says nothing about your getting paid for saying anything. It just says you can say it. I don't believe that if a corporation pulls all the money out of you or a network pulls their money away or you get fired, you're being censored.
