Sometimes what is 'real' because it takes place in the physical world, like 9/11, is so unreal on the level of the soul. Then other things, which in terms of the physical world seem so magical and unbelievable, on the level of the soul seem very real.

We live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups. I ask, in my writing, 'What is real?' Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms.

I keep in touch with what's real.

Nothing is really real unless it happens on television.

Television and movies have short-circuited reality. I don't think a lot of people are entirely clear on what is real and what is on the screen.

I always see that there's a - from a philosophical point of view - there's the appearance of things that everybody wants you to think is happening, then there's the reality underneath it.

I think that it's not as crazily different, my job, from anyone else's, as people let themselves believe. I think people get wrapped up in their own idea of what it is, but it's really not that.

What's real? What's not? That's what I do in my act, test how other people deal with reality.

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.

I secretly think reality exists so we can speculate about it.
