We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? It's a delusion to think it's gone away.

The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.

My songs are my kids. Some of them stay with me some others I have to send out out to the war. It might sound stupid and it might even sound naive but that's just the way it is.

The war on drugs is wrong both tactically and morally. It assumes that people are too stupid too reckless and too irresponsible to decide whether and under what conditions to consume drugs. The war on drugs is morally bankrupt.

I don't like Bush. I don't trust him. I don't like his record. He's stupid. He's lazy.

Ideas are only lethal if you suppress and don't discuss them. Ignorance is not bliss it's stupid. Banning books shows you don't trust your kids to think and you don't trust yourself to be able to talk to them.

I don't have time for their judgement and their stupidity and you know they lay down with their ugly wives in front of their ugly children and look at their loser lives and then they look at me and they say 'I can't process it' well no you never will stop trying just sit back and enjoy the show. You know?

Only two things are infinite the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former.

What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.
