America is in a runaway-train position and dragging all the world with it. It's grotesquely mentally ill.

I see the entire world as Eden, and every time you take an inch of it away, you must do so with respect.

When the world becomes a massive mess with nobody at the helm, it's time for artists to make their mark.

Never give succor to the mentally ill; it is a bottomless pit.

I know my generation - a lot of them, they're getting old now, and they want to think back fondly, they want to kid themselves. A lot of them think, 'Yeah, we were the best.' That's the kiss of death. That's non-growth. And also that's very bad for the world.
