I don't want to wait more than a year and a half or two years between books.

It's just something that's sort of funny, sort of not.

Milkmen seem so wholesome, and there's no way anybody can be that wholesome.

We live in a society that blames everybody else for what's wrong.

People get really caught up in their own trips.

We all have our pet things that we like to get religious about.

You ever try to go a day without judgment?

I'm just trying to portray what I find ironic or humorous.

People are essentially red meat. They are.

I imagine I'll continue on doing it for many years to come.

I just don't want anyone messing around with my pure smoking pleasure.

I grew up in a military family, and there's something about that military-style uniform, all cleaned up, a brutal control effort the military necessarily breeds.

These censorship people think something is going to promote behavior in people.

I hope to actually get back to painting someday... soon. I sort of transitioned into cartooning from painting.

We're going to have the same demographic spread of nutcases and the same spread of everybody in between.

I was doing illustration work, and the cartooning slowly took over.

But if I'm going to cause somebody else discomfort by my actions, then I should probably modify my actions toward them to make them as comfortable as possible.

See, unlike most hackers, I get little joy out of figuring out how to install the latest toy.

Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be.

Actually, I think my view is compatible with much of the work going on now in neuroscience and psychology, where people are studying the relationship of consciousness to neural and cognitive processes without really trying to reduce it to those processes.

My dad is Greek and my mum Jamaican. My grandparents brought me up for most of my childhood, but I saw my mum and dad all the time.

My life just got taken over by my cooking. If you don't have any discipline, which I don't, you can make 10 gallons of chocolate mousse, take a spoonful and another and another, and you won't realize you've eaten like five servings of it. It's just what you do.

I was a rapper and a DJ, and if you wanted to be involved in hip-hop, you had to be involved in the sonic, the kinetic and the visual aspects. The visual was graffiti.

I feel like a lot of comedians do have that deep, dark thing. I have my stuff, but I don't go to that dark place. Things are just way too good.

We've always been kind of an underground band in a way that had the respect of our peers on the road. I like to say we're the world's most famous opening act because we've opened for every huge band on the planet.

I was a hairdresser's assistant. I used to get 20p tips for washing an old woman's hair. I used to get there at 8 A.M., leave at 6 P.M. and get £10.
