- [Of his Côte ouest (1979) character]: Gary's just a schmuck most of the time. He's manipulated by women.
- [When he was worried he'd be typecasted]: People have always scared the hell out of me. You think, 'My God, there's something about me. I allow myself to be pushed around.' You have to tell yourself it's fiction.
- Sexual arousal is an emotion, we deal in emotions. It happens to all of us. I object to this whole Calvinist approach to life. It's tits jumping up and down, and little girls' butts going back and forth. It's voyeuristic pap.
- [When he organized the Sierra Club in the early 1980s]: It seems as if there ought to be something to accomplish with celebrity other than stroking my ego. I think President Reagan and Interior Secretary Watt care, but they care about the wrong things, the whole ecological chain is going down the tubes. Instead of developing new resources, Reagan and Watt are trying to squeeze every ounce of oil and coal out of the earth. It's as if you were dying of hunger and started eating your foot and working your way up.
- I just get interested in what pisses me off.
