My basic philosophy is that no human being is a saint.

I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.

It's hard to know exactly how people develop the characters they do. There could be people from humble beginnings that turn into jerks. Some characteristics are just part of that special soul of that human being.

If Hitch were a person, he'd be Mother Theresa or Gandhi or someone who treated all living creatures with the respect they deserve. It's depressing how my dog is a better human being than I am.

Fiction's about what it is to be a human being.

There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.
