I was always fascinated by the infinite, strange and 'scandalous' ways that insects copulate.

I don't think a Hollywood actor is safe from acting in the rain: it all depends on the film.

If you go to a therapist, they say, 'Are you sure? How do you feel about your wrinkles?' And I say, 'I don't know, because I don't really see them.'
