Look here brother, who you jivin' with that cosmik debris?
I'm probably more famous for sitting on the toilet than for anything else that I do.
I have four children, and I want them to grow up in a country that has a working First Amendment.
Being interviewed is one of the most abnormal things that you can do to somebody else. It's two steps removed from the Inquisition.

[Lighting a cigarette] Well, I'm not here to impinge on anybody else's lifestyle. If I'm in a place where I know I'm going to harm somebody's health or somebody asks me to please not smoke, I just go outside and smoke.

And, second, the whole pitch about smoking has gone from being a health issue to a moral issue, and when they reduce something to a moral issue, it has no place in any kind of legislation, as far as I'm concerned.
