Franny was staring at the little blotch of sunshine with a special intensity, as if she were considering lying down in it.

I hate actors. They never act like people. They just think they do

I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It's awful. If I'm on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to say I'm going to the opera. It's terrible.

But what I mean is, lots of time you don’t know what interests you most till you start talking about something that doesn’t interest you most. I mean you can’t help it sometimes.

I have scars on my hands from touching certain people…Certain heads, certain colours and textures of human hair leave permanent marks on me.

An artist's only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else's.
