Quotes

"Jerry Springer’s show is fascinating. It's become as sort of formalized and ritualized as Japanese Noh Theatre. A gorgeous girl comes out and says she is cheating on her lover. And they bring out the lover. And the lover turns out to be either a boy interested in another girl, or a girl interested in another girl, and then there’s a sudden point where you go 'I’ve got it! They’re all strippers!' and they come out and they hit each other."

"I'm looking forward to when bioengineering moves from technology to handicraft: biotech on the other side of necessity, where it enters the realm of nose piercing. People with tiny little goldfish swimming in one eye or feathers growing out of their backs. I'd love to be in a world where women grow penises because it is fashionable, or you can have an eye replacement of a different color or from a different species. All the adults will say, "Tut, tut, tut, girls never had penises in my day. We used to pierce our noses and lips. Why don't you do that?" And the kids will say, "Mom, you're so old-fashioned." All good technology should be used to piss off people's parents."
