I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid, but my father always told me - occasionally while striking me - that I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. And I think there's great truth in that.

Films take too long. There's too much BS, too much nonsense. If I want to do a play, I just call the theater, whether it's here, or in Paris or Mexico or Spain or London or whatever, and say, "I want to do this, are you interested?" They'll answer the next day. With a movie, it's all, "Oh, I see this film as blah blah blah." They don't know what you're talking about, they don't care.

I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.

And if you say a word about this over the radio, the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse.

Imagine how asleep or utterly unperceptive and clueless you would have to be not to see yourself as absurd for the most part.

People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.

It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.
