Spending time in Calcutta [India] really did a number on me. The way life and death are almost the same thing, the way poverty is dealt with, the sheer number of dead bodies you see, it's all pretty overwhelming.
I'm so burned out, the only person I can stand is myself. I'm the only one I would put through this. Wheels and wings, The ride is everything. I'm all I've got. I'm all I can take. Another day has destroyed a part of me. So far so good.
I need to do things on my own, need to be left alone.
I work pretty much every day. I can't really separate it from life, so I guess the work is my life.
When you're going into an employment environment that looks pretty scary, it is easy to lose your moral compass, your decency, your sense of civility and your sense of community.
I think the most "passionate" I get about actual humans are the ones I want to kill.
Misery, depression, elation all mine, refine confinement all my design.
Am I self-righteous? Why not? It's not like I can count on you to be righteous for me.
You can't get your head around something if you're yelling.
I am too far gone to be rehabilitated.
For many years, my favorite director has been the Japanese giant Akira Kurosawa.
Love beyond the damage.
Live music is the cure for what ails ya.
It is our destiny to be born beautiful into an ugly age.
The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found.
Music, to me, is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.
I believe that capitalism, at least how it's used by major corporations, and environmental concerns are in opposition. To be ecologically aware, productivity of many things would slow down at least for awhile. Stockholders don't want to hear about the saving of the whales or some stream in Kentucky. They want a return on their investment.
Smart people make good choices. They dig science and say 'no' to the invasion of sovereign nations for the pleasure of corporations.
I'm not harmful, just introspective. You can probably think I'm weird, but it's not harmful weird.
I simply cannot understand how any parent could kill themselves.
There is not one single police officer in America that I am not afraid of and not one that I would trust to tell the truth or obey the laws they are sworn to uphold. I do not believe they protect me in any way.
I take the work seriously, just not myself in it.
My understanding of first-degree murder is that premeditation needs to be proven.
I'm a professional food eater.
I'm a big Germs fan; most people are.
