„Я не люблю читать в кровати. Кровать создана для других целей.“
Из интервью "Независимой газете", 2012 г.
[It's] not important to get children to read. Children who wanna read are gonna read. Kids who want to learn to read [are] going to learn to read. [It's] much more important to teach children to QUESTION what they read. Children should be taught to question everything. To question everything they read, everything they hear. Children should be taught to question authority. Parents never teach their children to question authority because parents are authority figures themselves, and they don't want to undermine their own bullshit inside the household. So they stroke the kid and the kid strokes them, and they all stroke each other, all grow up all fucked up, and they come to shows like this.
„Одной из целей образования должно быть обучение тому, что жизнь драгоценна.“
„Цель обучения - показать людям, как учиться для себя. Другая концепция образования - воспитание.“
