Going to a sensational murder trial is the only way I can relax.

If you ever go home with somebody and they don't have books in their house, don't sleep with them. I think that's very important.

I didn't become a drug addict because I always had to make a movie.

I don't like heroin, unless you're a jazz musician and then you have to be on it because jazz is the sound of heroin.

I live in San Francisco, I live in Provincetown. They're all the same, apart from Baltimore. Baltimore's the only cheap place left.

And I seek people who break rules with happiness — and not bringing pain to themselves.

I liked speed. I was on black beauties all the time. Nothing bad happened to me. I didn't become a drug addict because I always had to make a movie. We weren't stoned when we made them; I was stoned when I made movies up. I did them all.
