Quotes

If you asked me to seriously kiss someone on a screen, I would be very,uncomfortable. But I will lick any part of your face.

I only come up with things when I am talking to myself, which I do,constantly. The sidewalk and the subway are the best places for this. I,speak at full volume and then laugh at myself if I like what I just,said.

Getting recognized on the street is fine, but I never really wanted to,be famous.

On Hillary Clinton: I admire her so much, I started to feel very close,to her, just trying to imagine her inner life.

I always gravitate towards things that are not beautiful, but broken and weird and fascinating,I grew up with a pet iguana named Willy. We had a very contentious relationship. It turns out that iguanas are not meant to live in suburban homes.
