You're pretending this isn't your life. You think it's going to happen some other time. When you're dead you'll realise you were alive now.

You can't win every week.

War's one of those things, don't you think, where everyone always thinks they're in the right have you noticed that? Nobody ever says we're the bad guys, we're going to beat shit out of the good guys.

I'd go without food if I could have a flower.

The only judges I recognise are ones I've appointed myself.

Everyone gets born you know. It's not something you invented.

We've got ninety-nine per cent the same genes as any other person. We've got ninety per cent the same as a chimpanzee. We've got thirty percent the same as a lettuce. Does that cheer you up at all? I love about the lettuce. It makes me feel I belong.

What I like about a dog it stops people getting after you, they're not going to come round in the night. But they make the place stink because I might want to stay out a few days and when I get back I might want to stay in a few days and a dog can become a tyrant to you.

People aren't evil and people aren't good. They live how they can one day at a time. They come out of dust they go back to dust, dusty feet, no wings, and whose fault is that?

Your father's not young when your small is he, he's not any age, he's more a power.

You make beauty and it disappears, I love that.
