FROM BILL
"Do you know that if you play New Kids on the Block backward... they sound better?"
"I hate you non-smokers with all of my little black fucking heart. My biggest fear is that
if I stop smoking, I'll become one of you."
"Jimi Hendrix died in a pool of his own vomit. Do you know how much you have to puke
to fill a pool?"
"I love pornography... that is one of my big fears in life, that I'm gonna die and my
parents are gonna have to clean out my apartment and find that porno wing I've been
adding onto for years. There'll be two funerals that day."
"You know what bugs me about (abortion opponents)? If you're so pro-life - don't lock
arms and block medical clinics. If you're pro-life, lock arms and block cemeteries ...
"I've been traveling a lot lately. I was over in Australia during Easter. It was interesting to
note they celebrate Easter the same way we do - commemorating the death and
resurrection of Jesus by telling our children that a giant bunny rabbit ... left chocolate
eggs in the night.
"Gee, I wonder why we're messed up as a race. You know, I've read the Bible. Can't find
the words 'bunny' or 'chocolate' in the whole book
"I feel like a big unknown X in this country," Hicks said a few hours before the fated
Letterman show. "I haven't done anything I want to do. I want to change the world and
you do that by changing our perceptions."
