"An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way."
"To me, nudity is a joke. I don't think nude people are very attractive at all. I like my women fully clothed. I like to imagine what might be under there. It might not be the standard thing. Imagine, stripping a woman down, and she has a body like a little submarine. With periscope, propellers, torpedoes. That would be the one for me. I'd marry her right off and be faithful to the end."
"Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink."
"Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them."
"Poetry is what happens when nothing else can."
