The people who had the most impact on me when I was young were Freud and Darwin, but growing up I also had my film idols.

I've nailed more women than I could count... at least I think they were women

It's perfectly clear to me that religion is a myth. It's something we have invented to explain the inexplicable. My religion and the spiritual side of my life come from a sense of connection to the humankind and nature on this planet and in the universe. I am in overwhelming awe of it all: It is so fantastic, so complex, so beyond comprehension. What does it all mean -- if it has any meaning at all? But how can it all exist if it doesn't have some kind of meaning? I think anyone who suggests that they have the answer is motivated by the need to invent answers, because we have no such answers.

I guess I'm the most successful man I know. I wouldn't trade places with anybody in the world.

I feel saddened when people who have major friendships or marriages wind up on the outs. Because I think you lose a little piece of yourself.

My life is an open book. With illustrations.

Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.
