I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.

The life you had is nothing. It is the life you have that is important.

It's dangerous to assert oneself.

It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind me and I see the steps. That's where I was.

I am subject to very powerful lows. When you have highs, you have terrible lows. When you pinpoint that you are responsible for everything that happens to you, it is very frightening.

To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?

Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.
