So many great people are dead, and so many assholes I know are still alive. Karma's bullshit. I wish it was true, but it ain't.

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

I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.

God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.

There are little things that get on my nerves, like people who have reading material in their powder room. When you go in someone’s house, and next to the toilet they have a huge basket of magazines, I find that repellent. I recommend against straining while reading.

I always give books. And I always ask for books. I think you should reward people sexually for getting you books. Don't send a thank-you note, repay them with sexual activity. If the book is rare or by your favorite author or one you didn't know about, reward them with the most perverted sex act you can think of. Otherwise, you can just make out.

Technique is nothing more than failed style.
