Quotes:
I don't really trust men who claim they are not interested in porn.
I'm investing in a company that has patented wallet technology that will deodorize currency. That way people won't have to deal with money that smells funny.
I'm like a monk with a taste for hookers.
I'm not a particularly attractive person - 5ft 8in, stooping, with a receding hairline.
If I was a sex symbol, I would be getting laid a lot more than I am now.
In my own strange way, I'm a Christian, in that I really love Christ, and I think that the wisdom of Christ is the highest, strongest wisdom I've ever encountered, and I think that his description of the human condition is about the best description or understanding of the human condition I've ever encountered... I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a Christian in the conventional sense of the word, where I go to church or believe in cultural Christianity, but I really do love Christ and recognize him in whatever capacity as I can understand it as God. One of my problems with the church and conventional Christianity is it seems like their focus doesn't have much to do with the teachings of Christ, but rather with their own social agenda. So that's why I tend to be sort of outspoken about how much I dislike conventional cultural Christianity.
