I get sidetracked very easily..

I thought a great line in the What Just Happened movie said, "We're just the mayonnaise.".

when you think you've got hold of a genius ... you can't be sure whether it's a spark of the divine fire or a mere flash in the pan..

No one is content with his own lot..

It saddens me how much fear we've instilled in ourselves..

Fear comes from the unknown. Once you know, then, whatever..

Originality is unexplored territory. You get there by carrying a canoe - you can't take a taxi..

Those who are not good to others are bad to themselves..

Wit is often a mask. If you tear it you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling..

I don't want to exhibit something to someone anymore. I want to do the reverse: I want to exhibit someone to something..

I'm a lot of things, but none of them are great..

The future is not something to be predicted, it's something to be achieved..

Nothing works unless you do the work..

Without me there could be no everybody..

I'm short, I'm Jewish and I'm a liberal.

Thought is the thought of thought..

Meaning, not beauty, is what we are after..

Everybody isn't everybody..

You have to invent life..

You spend your life getting walked on, you learn to recognize the tread..

Such is the privilege of genius; it perceives, it seizes relations where vulgar eyes see only isolated facts..
