The only time I had a normal boyfriend was during the time of AIDS, so maybe that saved me. It's certainly not karma.

My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior - before the Reformation.

People vomitied at my movies; not because of the movie but because they were drunk. I took credit anyway.

I love to read about anger. A "feel bad" book always makes me feel good. And no other novel in the history of literature is more depressing than Christina Stead's The Man Who Loved Children.

I must admit, even my fans everywhere I go in the world - just this week I was in London and Glasgow and the week before I was in Des Moines - my fans all look the same in all those cities - they look great!

Wouldn't you rather your kid be a drug dealer than a drug addict?

My favorite characters are people who think they're normal but they're not. I live in Baltimore, and it's full of people like that. I've also lived in New York, which is full of people who think they're crazy, but they're completely normal.
