I remember when I was being told about Watergate, and I thought, "Oh, America is not what I think America is." But America is what I think it is. It's just that it's two bits of it, and I don't go with the Republican bit of it. I go more with the Democratic bit.
I like my coffee like I like my women. In a plastic cup.
I grew up in Europe, where the history comes from.
If you think about determination, if people have a heart and are determined, they can get to that place. But there are a lot of negative people who were enormously determined. All the Nazis were determined. They wanted to murder everyone. Everyone with a bad heart, who doesn't care about people, I wish they hadn't started.
I wear whatever I want whenever I want. I don't call it drag; I don't even call it cross-dressing. It's just wearing a dress.
They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people, and monkeys do too (if they have a gun).
I want to be a taxidermist! I wanna fill animals with sand. I wanna get more sand into an animal than anybody has ever bloody got in one. I wanna fill a rat with the entire Gobi Desert, so it’s really quite tight.
I don't believe in God. I believe gods and devils are within us. It's our own battle. Our life's battle is to appeal to the gods within us, and to fight the devils within us.
I just believe in the # goodwill of people, the power of people to do something positive.
If you've never seen an elephant ski, you've never been on acid.
If there is a God, his plan is very similar to someone not having a plan.
I'm an action transvestite really, so it's running, jumping, climbing trees... putting on make-up when you're up there!
I grew up in the 70s, when the careers advisor used to come to school, and he used to get the kids together and say, 'Look, I advise you to get a career, what can I say? That's it.'
