America's a family. We all yell at each other. It all works out.
Being single... after ten years of marriage and two kids is difficult.
That’s like having a bunch of money in the currency of a country that
doesn’t exist anymore.
Divorce is always good news. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true
because no good marriage has ever ended in divorce.
Every day starts, my eyes open and I reload the program of misery. I
open my eyes, remember who I am, what I'm like, and I just go, 'Ugh.'
Everything's amazing right now, and nobody's happy.
Friends should always tell you the truth. But please don’t.
How many advantages can one person have? I'm a white man!
Human kindness has no reward. You should give to others in every way you
see. You should expect absolutely nothing from anyone. It should be your
goal to love every human you encounter. All human suffering that you're
aware of and continues without your effort to stop it becomes your crime.
I don't stop eating when I'm full. The meal isn't over when I'm full.
It's over when I hate myself.
I don't think it makes any sense to try to get anyone to not talk.
I don't think women are better than men, I think men are a lot worse
than women.
I don’t think you should ever say anything that you’re going to have to
apologize for later. If the heat gets hot, just let them get mad.
I have a lot of beliefs and I live by none of 'em. That's just the way I
am. They're just my beliefs. I just like believing them. I like that
part.
I killed my Facebook page years ago because time clicking around is just
dead time. Your brain isn't resting and it isn't doing. I think people
have to get their heads around this thing. All this unmitigated input is
hurting folks.
I like New York. This is the only city where you actually have to say
things like, 'Hey, that's mine. Don't pee on that.'
I never viewed money as being 'my money' I always saw it as 'the money.'
It's a resource. If it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed
back out into the system.
'I'm bored' is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast
world that you've seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind
is endless, it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact
that you’re alive is amazing, so you don’t get to say 'I’m bored.'
I've started to kind of hate people, and it's not because I have
anything against them. It's just, I enjoy it. It's recreation.
If you do something and people think you’re stupid, just go for crazy.
You get more respect that way because nobody likes stupid people.
If you’re a woman and a guy’s ever said anything romantic to you, he
just left off the second part that would have made you sick if you could
have heard it.
If you’re older, you’re smarter. I just believe that. If you’re in an
argument with someone older than you, you should listen to 'em. Even if
they’re wrong, their wrongness is rooted in more information than you
have.
It's a positive thing to talk about terrible things and make people
laugh about them.
It's more fun to experience things when you don't know what's going to
happen.
Kids are like buckets of disease that live in your house.
Life is full of horrible mistakes.
Life isn't something you possess. It's something you take part in, and
you witness.
Most people are dead. Hitler. Ray Charles. Some other guys. But mostly
those two.
Now we live in an amazing, amazing world and it's wasted on the
crappiest generation of spoiled idiots.
One thing I learned from drinking is that if you ever go Christmas
caroling, you should go with a group of people. And also go sometime in
December.
Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead. There are
way more dead people, and you're all gonna die and then you're gonna be
dead for way longer than you're alive. Like that's mostly what you're
ever gonna be. You're just dead people that didn't die yet.
People get successful and they start saying, 'Well of course I am! I was
chosen! I'm special!' No, you're not.
Some things I think are very conservative, or very liberal. I think when
someone falls into one category for everything, I'm very suspicious. It
doesn't make sense to me that you'd have the same solution to every
issue.
Sorry, Americans only buy things that come from suffering. They just
enjoy it more when they know someones getting hurt.
That’s what being a parent is like. It’s like Platoon.
The only time you should look in your neighbor's bowl is to make sure
that they have enough. You don't look in your neighbor's bowl to see if
you have as much as them.
The problem is, the more famous you get, the more people see you who
didn't choose to.
To me, art supplies are always okay to buy.
We spend all our time now on customer service phone calls. I used to
read when I was on the toilet, but now that's when I make customer
service calls.
Well, my wife assassinated my sexual identity, and my children are
eating my dreams. We don't bother you with that. We just say 'Great.'
When I read things like the foundations of capitalism are shattering,
I'm like, maybe we need that. Maybe we need some time where we're
walking around with a donkey with pots clanging on the sides.
When I was younger, I lied all the time, because once you understand the
power of lying, it's really like magic because you transform reality for
people.
When people are getting richer and richer but they're not actually
producing anything, it can't end well.
Women try to compete. They're like, 'Well I'm a pervert. You don't know.
I have really sick sexual thoughts.' I'm like, 'No, you have no idea.
You have no idea. 'Cause you see, you get to have those thoughts.
I have to have those thoughts. You're a tourist in sexual
perversion. I'm a prisoner there. You're Jane Fonda on a tank. I'm John
McCain in the hut.
