One thing I've very quickly learned is that if you wake up every morning worrying about what's in the press you would go completely and utterly potty.

I think my real depressions started when I was about 16 and doing The Patty Duke Show. I would go to bed at about 10 o'clock on a Friday night and not get up again until 6:30 Monday morning.

Early in the morning I fell in love with the girl that later on became my wife. At that time we were so naive. I wanted to charm her so I read her Capital by Marx. I thought somehow she would be convinced by the strength of his criticism about capital.

My favorite meal would have to be good old-fashioned eggs over easy with bacon. Many others but you can't beat that on a Sunday morning especially with a cup of tea.

I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.

And if I had a preference it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.

I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist every morning at the time of his visit made me want to hang myself realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat.

I have retired but if there's anything that would kill me it is to wake up in the morning not knowing what to do.

To be intimate with a married man when my own father cheated on my mother is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.

In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.

If I feel strongly I say it. I know I can do more good by being vocal than by staying quiet. I'd have a whole lot more money if I lied but I wouldn't enjoy spending it.

It would be nice if the poor were to get even half of the money that is spent in studying them.

I had no idea that I would ever get involved with something like lending money to poor people given the circumstances in which I was working in Bangladesh.

I tend to make low-budget movies but yeah I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

If Warren Buffett made his money from ordinary income rather than capital gains his tax rate would be a lot higher than his secretary's. In fact a very small percentage of people in this country pay a big chunk of the taxes.

Wouldn't it be great if you could only get AIDS by giving money to television preachers?

Well I needed the work - that's the honest answer. I haven't worked for a while a couple of years. So I thought it would be nice to get back to work and earn some money.
