On Aging

On Body Modification

On Excessively Pretty People
“When actors are too good-looking, I can’t memorize them. For example, I have never seen a picture of Sienna Miller where I didn’t say, ‘That girl’s pretty. Who is that?’”
On Getting Your Nails Done
“There are never fewer than eight Tracy Ullman characters in any NYC nail salon at any given time.”
On The "Ideal" Woman
“Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.”
