I'm a walking, talking enigma.

I love being an enigma. Every time I'm tempted to respond to someone who tries to put me in a box, politically - you know, someone who gets on the Internet and says, you're pro-gun, or you're anti-gun - I stop and say to myself, 'This is great; this is what I wanted. I wanted to be the guy you can't figure out.'

But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I'm a walking, talking enigma. We're a dying breed.

Going after the unknown is always fascinating, I think. It becomes part of your life, this desire to know.

I never know what I'm going to write next, and when I think I do I usually turn out to be mistaken.

I'm not creating an enigma or leaving mystery, I'm just respecting myself enough as an artist to give myself room to grow and not to be devoured all in one go.

I don't consider myself enigmatic, but I don't spend a lot of time thinking about my public persona.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
