Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
I'm a normal kid from Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Imagine bringing Canada into a trillion-and-a-half of deficit. That's insane.
When Jesus Christ asked little children to come to him, he didn't say only rich children, or White children, or children with two-parent families, or children who didn't have a mental or physical handicap. He said, Let all children come unto me.
It's better to star in Oshkosh than to starve on Broadway.
There is less difference than you would imagine entertaining little children and entertaining adults.
It's been insane. From Whitey Bulger to the Mad Hatter, you can imagine the schizophrenia.
If I found myself married with children and had tons of puppies and a fun place to live, I imagine I'd be happier, but I kind of like being a little bit isolated and lonely.
