(On the hit movie Fritz the Cat (1972) which was based on his comics): "They put words in Fritz's mouth I never would've had him say. It was not my movie. I had nothing to do with it. They just used a couple of my stories. But a lot of people seem to think I was involved - that bothers me".

(On Adults only Animation pioneer Ralph Bakshi): "He wanted to be the new hip Walt Disney. He was so neurotic and high-strung. He had beads of sweat all down his head".

[Putting to rest rumors that he hung out with Grateful Dead in the 1960s]: "I never had anything to do with those guys. I hated their music. I went to some of their concerts and fell asleep".

People now don't have any concept that there was ever a culture outside of this thing that was created to make money. Whatever is the biggest, latest thing, they're into it. You get disgusted after a while at humanity.

You must thank the gods for art, those of us who have been fortunate enough to stumble onto this means of venting our craziness, our meanness, our towering disgust.
