I was a Catholic youth minister for eight years... I'm not Catholic anymore. The church is too misogynistic.

When I was growing up, it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything.

I never go anywhere and encourage people to get married to someone of the same gender or to have abortions - the issue never comes up.

I am not a politician or a military strategist. I am just a citizen voicing my opinions.

I tried to be like the richer kids as much as I could because I wanted to live on their streets, at least hang out on their streets and eat their amazing food and walk barefoot on their shag carpets. I became something of a pest in that way, and in general, other people's parents didn't like me.

People think they're making individual decisions for themselves and their family not to get vaccinated. It's not just an individual choice - you're a hazard to society.

There's nothing illogical, it seems to me, about saying, 'I am going to care deeply about my work and my writing. I'm also going to care deeply about my family and my child.'

I'm endlessly fascinated by parenting, marriage, my wife and the ins and outs of marriage.
