“If you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them. If you hope people will change how they live, you have to know how they live. If you want people to see you, you have to sit down with them eye-to-eye.”

“You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them.”

“Having people be impressed with a house is not a compliment. You don't want them to say, 'What a place!' You want them to sit down and enjoy it.”

“Okay, listen to me, you're stronger than they are. You are. They just want a good show, that's all they want. You know how to hunt. Show them how good you are.”

“Not many people are interested in what somebody else is thinking, or what they have to say. The best you can hope for is they'll listen to you just so you'll have to listen to them.”

“You have to live with the people in hypocrisy for them to stay happy with you.”

“I live by the golden rule: Treat others as you'd want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live.”

“An eye for an eye? How Christian of you.'

Unbelievers always want other people to act like Christians.”

“People who get implants, it's so depressing, you know… People— I don't know. The route of that, you know, maybe they want more love or attention, or what it is, but they always go for the most obvious place, you know? Here… Well if you really want more attention, why not get them in your eyes? And then move you eyes down to where you nipples used to be, put you breasts up on your head, EVERYBODY will pay attention!”

“You can't make people listen to you. People only hear what they want to hear.”
