Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.

I'll tell you one thing: Don't ever give anybody your best advice, because they're not going to follow it.

Dissembling is a common tool of the anger junkie.

As a means of supporting experiential element in film, once I begin to work on a particular movie I consider myself to be the tool of the director.

Never rub another man's rhubarb.

I love the company of people. I always have and always will, it comes with my family. But earlier in life I might have got a little nervous if I was alone for a day or two in a row. I might think, "Where are they?" Now, I just go on doing naturally what I do.

At 55 I said the probability is I won't have another relationship. I just didn't want to start another family. Between my own bizarre criteria and taste and the fact that I'm not available for many things I thought it was unlikely. Once you know the science about it, I don't think anybody should consider being committed to a real eternal relationship until you're through something called the infatuation circle.
