Imbecile!" the chef shouted. "next time why don't you just put your whole hand in the food, hey? yes, your whole hand, or maybe your face! i arrange the food on plates with care, are you understanding what i am telling you? it is part of the art form of cooking, yes? a lovely plate of food is a thing of beauty! and then you, numbskull, come along and put your fat greasy fingers all over my plate, and shake the plate, and move my food all around the plate until it looks like pigs' vomit!"

Animals are like autistic savants. in fact, i'd go so far as to say that animals might actually be autistic savants. animals have special talents normal people don't, the same way autistic people have special talents normal people don't; and at least some animals have special forms of genius normal people don't, the same way some autistic savants have special forms of genius. i think most of the time animal genius probably happens for the same reason autistic genius does: a difference in the brain autistic people share with animals.

Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.

Well, after zombie birdhouse came out, i toured behind it in the fall of 1982, into the spring, and in the summer in the far east. at that time, i found my work self-referential; it was getting to be rock songs about a rock singer who lived a rock life on the rock road, and i was starting to wonder what i would be like to rent my own apartment, what it would be like to have a checkbook.

When you're writing a movie or a play and writing isn't going well, which is for me the normal condition - it's an exceptional day when suddenly i've got something and it's going well - you can call the studio or the producer or whoever is waiting for it and say, "i know i said i was going to have it in by the end of the summer.
