“You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic.”

“This is what happens when an outlaw kidnaps a scholar of myths and legends.”

“If you tell people you talk to God, they'll think you're religious, but if you say God talks to you, it's ten to one they'll think you're crazy.”

“It's true what they say, you know: if you talk to God, you're religious; but if you hear from God, yor're schizophrenic.”

“Everybody sounds stoned, because they're e-mailing people the whole time they're talking to you.”

“There are things you're just positive will happen to you. Then there's that second when you realize, Jesus Christ. Maybe they won't.”

“What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.”
