Quotes

  • [describing a kiwi fruit] It's really hairy, like licking a baby with a beard.
  • The reason there was such hysteria about Bowie (David Bowie) dying was because he naturally appealed to hysterical people. Bowie just appealed to hysterical people. The kind of people who liked him were people who: "I can't decide whether I'm a man or a woman or a spaceman from Mars and I just want to dance and paint zigzags on my face." People like that aren't equipped to cope.
