“You know, I look like a duck. I just do. And I'm not the only person who thinks that.”
People magazine (1990) http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20128142,00.html
Context: You know, I look like a duck. I just do. And I'm not the only person who thinks that. It's the way my mouth sort of curls up or my nose tilts up. I should have played Howard the Duck.

On how he would like to be remembered (1994)
Context: Oh, I don't know — that's a hell of a question — I don't tend to look at my stuff that way. I just look at it a book at a time. Something like the Amber books are in a different class. I try not to anticipate. I don't know what I'll be writing a few years from now. I have some ideas — I have lots of different things I want to try. I almost don't really care what history thinks. I like the way I'm being treated right now.

Variant: Hey, you know something people? I'm not black, but there's a whole lots a times I wish I could say I'm not white.
