I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted more than anything else to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.
I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work ' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not as popularly supposed alcoholism it's egotism.
You know when you don't go on TV and talk about how many women you sleep with some people in Hollywood that are supposedly 'in the know ' start whispering that you're gay. If I were gay I wouldn't be ashamed to admit it but I'm not.
Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist about which it is impossible to talk in polite company.
I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.

Killing Japanese didn't bother me very much at that time... I suppose if I had lost the war I would have been tried as a war criminal.
Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life which make it pungent intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict in the zone where black and white clash.
One is a child when one has a child. No one says 'You will never be the same again.' Which is the truth! And we're all supposed to be happy all the time. What is that about?
Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.
Sure we're in limos. We're stars. How else is a star supposed to travel?
My job is to be a spokesman - the spokesman I suppose - for the President for the White House to do the daily briefings to manage the press corps in terms of travel day-to-day needs access interviews all those issues.

I think that different pleasures work for different readers - a friend of mine won't read anything that's not a cardiovascular sort of page-turner. I tend to care less about plot but I'm a sucker for humor and strangeness.
