• I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
• When I attended a press conference for Jimmy Carter, I signed more autographs than Carter did. The Secret Service agents didn't know who I was. They thought I was an astronaut.
• [on Bill Clinton] It's almost embarrassing to talk about Clinton as if he were important. I'd almost prefer Nixon. I'd say Clinton is every bit as corrupt as Nixon, but a lot smoother.
• The last train out of any station will not be full of nice guys.
• The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it.
• By any accepted standard, I have had more than nine lives. I counted them up once, and there were thirteen times when I should have died.
• Some may never live, but the crazy never die.
• Call on God, but row away from the rocks.
• If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people, including me, would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
• Freedom is something that dies unless it's used.
• [about the Edge] There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
• Yesterday's weirdness is tomorrow's reason why.
• Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top.
• Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole lifestyle a crime in progress is not a happy prospect.
• If you're going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you're going to be locked up.

• I have a theory that the truth is never told between 9-5 business hours.
• Morality is temporary, wisdom is permanent.
• When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
• It never got weird enough for me.
• No one is stealing our freedoms, we're dealing them away.
• [In a letter to a friend] "Yes, once in a while I smile for a picture. See enclosed. It was taken for a passport."
• A group photo of the top ten journalists in America on any given day would be a monument to human ugliness.
• Where will it end? How low do you have to stoop in this country to be the President?
• Being barred from the White House is like being banned from the Playboy Club. It carries with it a certain distinction.
• Life is full of odd moments; you never know when you're gonna get defiant.
• It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die.
• Paranoia is just another word for ignorance.
• The only difference between the Sane and the Insane is IN and yet within this word, the Sane have the power to have the Insane locked up.
• Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!'.
• I'm more than just a serious basketball fan. I'm a lifelong addict.
• Satire becomes impossible when reality is too twisted.
