People who want to act rich when they're upper-middle class. They try too hard.

I have spoken, and I was understood. It's not like I'm a tragic person who wasn't understood. All those books are in print, all those movies are still out there, the audience gets younger. So I don't have that "I've got to do one thing before I die." I did it.

I would never do hard-core pornography, because it looks too much like open-heart surgery.

I came from a generation where women were almost deified, and like Groucho Marx's line, "I wouldn't want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member", I thought, "I wouldn't want to sleep with a woman who would sleep with me!" It took me a long time to work my way through that.

I am on the road all the time. Whether I'm in Paris or in a small college town in Texas, I can't tell the difference, and that's good. You don't have to leave where you were born to be cool anymore.

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

When I was young, no one wanted to be one; now even the President of the United States would call himself an outsider. So now I'm for insiders.
