• [on The George Carlin Show (1994)] Lesson learned: always check mental health of creative partner beforehand. Loved the actors, loved the crew. Had a great time. Couldn't wait to get the fuck out of there.

• [from his book "Brain Droppings"] Most people are not particularly good at anything.
• [from his book "Brain Droppings"] Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy. Second is not all that bad.
