I can see through almost any scam, especially one perpetrated by the federal government. I can see through it... they can't pull the wool over my eyes, it's absolutely freakin' impossible to pull the wool over my eyes about the government.
I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I�m a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I�m not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn�t exist.
I knew what normalcy was, and I wasn't having it.
I liked 'Diff'rent Strokes' up until about the last three or four years. I was bored.
I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone.
I suffer a little bit from Napoleonism, if you will.
I try to understand people who aren't as smart as me and not be hateful.
I would not give my first 15 years to my worst enemy.
Television is fun, but it's hard, and if it gets too crazy I may just do it as a part-time thing.
Politics is never about the people. It's about money. And wars. And how many heads you can step on and bodies you can step over. And I'm just not that kind of person.
Star Wars was magnificent, but you could tell Darth Vader's ships were glued together.
I know the difference between true love and the love of my fans.
You can involve yourself in electronics, computers, puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.
I don't hurt or want for visibility, but people seem to forget pretty easily.
