“So I do have this ambivalence. Obviously I'm against militaries, because of what militaries do. In many ways though, the air force was unmilitary-like. They dropped bombs on people, but...they had a golf course.”

“The military do so love shiny new technology, there's always so many ways to abuse it.”

“People are fond of using military terms to describe what they do.We call it bombing when we go out painting, when of course it's morelike entertaining the troops in a neutral zone, during peacetime in acountry without an army.”

“The coke bugs were out in force, doing military manoeuvres, all jazzed up on their Bolivian marching powder.”

“The end of the story of Batman is he's dead. Because, in the end, the Batman dies. What else am I going to do? Retire and play golf? It doesn't work that way. It can't. I fight until I drop. And one day, I will drop.”
