On Bill's angry late-night phone calls to friends
>"Bill's friends were used to these calls. When he was on the road, all alone and drowning in whiskey, he might call you in the middle of the night and scream into the phone something like, 'All women are WHHHOOOOORES!' [...] Bill told David that once he'd tossed and turned in bed for hours and when he finally found a comfortable position, he realized he was twisted in the shape of a swastika."

On further angry late-night calls
>"Bill was angry drunk. And the phone calls became as regular as breakfast. For six years - six fucking years - the clock struck 3 a.m. and my phone started ringing. [...] The topics never changed. He was screaming about his girlfriend cheating on him, about the government, about the dumbasses in the crowd that night who didn't get it, about all these shitty people coming out of Hollywood becoming famous yet he wasn't getting anywhere. There were time when I put the phone down, fixed myself a cup of coffee, came back to the phone and Bill was still blithering without even having broken his stride."
__________
On Bill's view of the world
>"Basically, he was telling me, or whoever else was dumb enough to pick up their phone in the middle of the night, about how much the world sucked. He always had a hope for the world and mankind, but it wasn't an honest hope. His hope for mankind didn't always include the happy ending everybody wanted. There wasn't really a happily ever after. His hope for making was that, after all of the assholes were wiped off the planet, then the rest of the people left could actually forge a world worth living in. [...] "Hitler had the right idea. He was just an underachiever." It's something Bill said during one of his more infamous shows."
