I think commercialism helps Christmas and I think that the more capitalism we can inject into the Christmas holiday the more spiritual I feel about it
I think holidays create so much pressure because people feel they should be having a good time. But you shouldn't.
When in doubt about who's to blame. Blame the English.
There is no Thanksgiving back in the old country where I come from. You know why? Because being thankful is a sin.
Sometimes my pathology just spills out into the camera doesn't it?
Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde is a metaphor for alcoholism. He drinks a potion, becomes a monster. I know exactly how he feels.
You gotta laugh because if you didn't you'd cry
On that same tour we ran into a band at Aylesbury Friars, a biggish venue in Oxfordshire, England. They were a four-piece from Ireland called U2. They seemed like nice fellows and they sounded pretty good, but we didn’t keep in touch. They’re probably taxi drivers and accountants by now.

The truth is, you win the Lotto. That's really how you have to approach it. You're a lottery winner when you get a sitcom and it goes.
That's why I believe in a Constitution which separates church from state. I've seen what happens when they get in cahoots.
Now that healthcare is guaranteed, I'm frying everything I eat. Fried food and cigarettes.
