"I would never kill a living thing, although I probably have inadvertently while driving automobiles."

"But I have been in some very beautiful churches, then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death."

"Johnny Rotten. He's a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he'd stand up and holler. He's funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don't think he's a jerk because he isn't."

"When I see a dolphin, I know it's just as smart as I am."

"I don't even know what sound is, much less what it's for. It isn't to make money that's for sure. I've never made any."
