True success is figuring out your life and career so you never have to be around jerks.

People are going to say, "I was a lesbian back in the 90s" just like people say, "I was a hippie in the 60s". I see them struggling. Rich girls struggling with their heterosexuality.

I never had any desire to get a tattoo. If I was ever going to get one, I would get a plain anchor with a rope around it, the most unimaginative possible tattoo, like Popeye had.

Wealth is walking into any bookshop and buying any book you want without looking at the price tag.

Insider can be more ludicrous. How did I ever end up [as one]? Carsick [Waters's book on hitchhiking] was on the New York Times best-seller list for five weeks. [One of the characters was] a singing asshole that does a duet with Connie Francis! Times have changed. That's mainstream, in a weird way.

Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.

I never rewatch the great films of my favorite directors because I'm afraid they won't hold up.
