“Comedians and artists are some of the loneliest, self-destructive people on the planet. If you enjoy what they produce, take the time to appreciate the humiliation and vulnerability that made them.”
“Some people just don't have what it takes to appreciate a cookie.”
“An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.”
“There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self-destruct. It never fails.”
“But insight doesn't necessarily produce self-control. Sometimes you just see your destructiveness more clearly.”
“The supreme reality of our time is the vulnerability of our planet. ”
