people film baskets
My films are therapy for my debilitating depression. In institutions people weave baskets. I make films.
love sarcastic angel
It's a match made in heaven...by a retarded angel.
hero comedian way
You are always a comedian by default. You are this way because you've been forced to be this way, but it is better to be the hero. So if you can be a persona, the great one of my lifetime of course was and is Marlon Brando.
fun philosophy mind
Human beings are divided into mind and body. The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun.

Harvard makes mistakes too, you know. Kissinger taught there.
witty humorous liberty
The last woman I was in was the Statue of Liberty.

lonely children pain
You can't work at a relationship; you can't control it. You have to be lucky and go through your life. If you are not lucky you have to be prepared for some degree of suffering. That's why most relationships are very difficult and have some degree of pain. People stay together because of inertia, they don't have the energy. Because they are frightened of being lonely, or they have children.
appreciation thinking people
The Jewish culture - people that are Jewish have a certain cultural habit that they've formed and one of those habits is an appreciation of theater and music - these are cultural things one does associate with values that are promulgated by Jewish families. I think that's a good thing.
new-york book bisexual
Ads answered out of desperation in the New York Review of Books proved equally futile as…the 'Bay Area Bisexual' told me I didn't quite coincide with either of her desires.
war events hostage
In the event of war, I'm a hostage.
