When somebody say no, it's a red flag to a bull to me.

I was very inspired by Peter Mullan's film about those kinds of places where you put people who'd been bad.

I know I'm part of the changing process of the way we look at things.

I just absolutely go for it when somebody says, "No, you can't have this." That's why I spent my entire life sucking off straight men. "Okay, so you think you're straight, do you? We'll see about that."

Writers and filmmakers have this age-old relationship to the material.

Whether it's Dorothy Parker or Oscar Wilde, they're brilliant with genius bon mots. Of course, I find them extraordinary.

As you get older and more successful, you don't get magnetically drawn to aristocracy, you get magnetically drawn to power, and it gets magnetically drawn to you. It's a symbiosis whether you like it or not.
