I like my wine like my women – ready to pass out.
But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
2020. There’ll be cold fusion. We’ll actually be able to power our cars with our own feces. That’s right. The emissions problem will be a little intense, but just light a match.
Being a functioning alcoholic is kind of like being a paraplegic lap dancer – you can do it, just not as well as the others, really.
When I’m riding my bicycle I feel like a Buddhist who is happy just to enjoy his mundane existence.
My children give me a great sense of wonder. Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings.
Comedy is there to basically show us we fart, we laugh, to make us realize we still are part animal.
My favorite thing to do is ride a bicycle. I ride road bikes. And for me, it’s mobile meditation.
We were romantics. We didn’t just read poetry. We let it drip from our tongues like honey. Spirits soared. Women swooned, and gods were created, gentlemen. Not a bad way to spend an evening, eh?
I always thought the idea of education was to learn to think for yourself.
The first time I tried organic wheat bread, I thought I was chewing on roofing material.
I used food to make myself feel better, but I felt worse when I ate.
We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
Avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason boys – to woo women – and in that endeavor, laziness will not do.
Sometimes you got to specifically go out of your way to get into trouble. It’s called fun.
When you create you get a little endorphin rush. Why do you think Einstein looked like that?
I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.
Improv. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but when it does, it’s like open-field running.
As an alcoholic, you will violate your standards quicker than you can lower them.
My battles with addiction definitely shaped how I am now. They really made me deeply appreciate human contact. And the value of friends and family, how precious that is.
