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

The second we see somebody on the street or meet someone, we make snap judgments about them, about who they are and why we wouldn't necessarily sit with them or why we would or what's cool or not cool.

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?

Yeah, I don't deal with current events or pop culture, and I avoid politics like the plague.

That's not so important to me, that time thing.

People are going to behave however the social norms permit, and beyond that.

I wanted to be a painter.

I am too old for an eyebrow piercing but too young for an eyebrow lift.

Now interpersonal politics... that's what it's all about.

As soon as I can afford a studio space, I'll paint again.

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.

I try as best I can to enter the realm of nuances of human behavior.

I'm always looking, as an actor, for activities. I think it's far more interesting to watch what people do than what they say. You always want to watch behavior, because the dialogue as written by our illustrious leaders is great. Eminently playable.

The mind cannot support moral chaos for long. Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.

No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.

I always say centered food equals centered behavior.

Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.

I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going.

It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.

But you can't show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You've got to show what it's really like, and try to reach them on their own grounds.
