• Pasé cuatro años en el Cuerpo de Marines, y una gran parte del Cuerpo de Marines, especialmente en el campamento de entrenamiento, es la tortura. A los militares no les va a gustar que diga eso, pero es lo que es. El campo de entrenamiento es una de las cosas más tortuosas por las que he pasado.

• I can't make things I don't feel passionately about. I've never been able to. Years ago when I was going through college, I was trying to earn some extra money by making motel paintings and it was the hardest work I've ever done in my life, psychically. It was just torture.

• The violence inherent in our systems and structures of power is a part of who we are - our thoughts, sensibilities, imaginations, language. We live in manifestations of it - permanent war, environmental destrucution, poverty, racism, misogyny, the assault on labor, torture in our prisons, capital punishment - a corporate capitalist state controlled by oligarchical interests for their own private profit and gain.

• Me gusta la tortura. La tortura es fotogénica. Si haces películas de terror, siempre tienes que pensar qué es fotogénico y qué no. Si te quedas en casa con la luz de las velas y lees un libro, Rilke, o lo que sea, o Sigmund Freud, es aburrido. Pero si ves a Udo Kier en una película de terror y la gente me persigue e intenta matarme, y ahí está mi interés amoroso con grandes pechos y un pelo precioso, y yo creo en ella y me matan al final, eso es más interesante. Estamos hablando de películas. No estamos hablando de escribir historias.

• I don't like to be constrained to any one medium. I like to surprise and amuse - and indeed, torture - myself by weaving back and forth between images and words of all sorts, and trying to create work in the end that feels "of a piece." This is why I resist calling myself a "cartoonist." It doesn't seem to describe what I do.

• He dicho en repetidas ocasiones que tengo la intención de cerrar Guantánamo, y lo cumpliré. He dicho repetidamente que Estados Unidos no tortura. Y me aseguraré de que no torturemos. Todo ello forma parte de un esfuerzo por recuperar la estatura moral de Estados Unidos en el mundo.

• We can't literally talk with everybody else on the planet or even with representatives of every group. But we can be in favor of the respectful exchange of ideas in ways that don't presuppose that all the right answers are on our own side. Still, we should all have moral bottom lines. Once genocide or torture begins the priority shifts from understanding to stopping it. One hope I have for the global conversation as instantiated in human rights treaties is that we are slowly coming to consensus on certain moral baselines.

• There are many agreements across the so-called "world religions," at a certain level of abstraction. But when it comes to applying them in concrete situations they may lead to incompatible decisions. As an example, some people think that Christian ideas of sexual modesty suggest that homosexuals should be locked up, some people think that they mean that the churches should recongize gay marriages. But everyone believes in sexual modesty. I think there are universal moral truths, whether or not everyone accepts them. Here's one very low level but important one: it's very bad to torture people.

• La forma en que lo escribí es una manera agradable y divertida de escribir historias, de fingir que dices algo cuando en realidad estás diciendo otra cosa. "Chicos, venid, os llevaré a un partido de fútbol". Vienen todos, y de repente los llevas a ver una obra de teatro en el escenario. En Estambul Estambul, finjo hablar de tortura y política, pero en realidad no lo hago. En lugar de eso, hablo de esperanza y desesperanza, oscuridad y luz, bien y mal, amor y separación.

• When the dominant media invites the torturers on their programs to defend the nature of torture and then label that as "just another position," these media apparatuses have really sunken into hell. They've become something really vile and despicable. And yet they do it with a smile.

• I wrote a cheesy love song - called "Tender Torture". I guess it's more of a song about being away from someone that you love. It's pretty strange. It's sincere, I guess. It's actually something that I really felt.
