I'm not a human being. I'm despicable and disgusting - but that's where the money is.
The idea that things intrinsically were just better is so stupid to me because they never were. It's all relative.
Getting out on stage and playing music for people feels great when people are cheering for you, that's obviously really exciting. But what's most exciting is the idea that we're all experiencing something that's bigger than us.
If you make everything really on the nose so everyone knows exactly what you're talking about, it's often not as strong.
I used to be so young, how did I get so old?
I grew up with a rotary phone in my house and that seems a world away, but that's what I was used to as a kid. So now things seem complicated to me, but to kids born right now, they don't feel complicated.
Sold my soul to the devil for nice penmanship. Now I write real pretty but I'm starting to regret it.
It is important that we know and hear God's voice, for the words of God reveal the will of God.
The whole idea of re-releasing old movies does bother me a little bit. If they're going to re-release an old movie, I should be able to get in with my old ticket.
My comedy is like emotional hang-gliding.
In a way, human beings have never been part of the natural order; we're not biological in the normal sense. Normal biological animals stop eating when they're not hungry and stop breeding when there is no sense in breeding. By contrast, human beings are what I think of as "biomythic" animals: we're controlled largely by the stories we tell. When we get the story wrong, we get out of harmony with the rest of the natural order. For a long time, our unnatural beahvior didn't threaten the natural world, but now it does.
