People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.

I love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.

I try not to be sentimental and obsessive about possessions. I love collecting, but I hate owning.

Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose. I am the happy victim of books.

Beauty—or the desire to be beautiful—is in itself a dangerous motivation. Someone (I forgot who) once said, ‘Does the person who loves someone for their beauty really love them?’ So don’t focus on beauty ... a respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul. It is the sum of our experiences that makes us interesting, and having been through a time in your life in which you were in a bad place (or what you perceived as a bad place) physically, can be useful. It can even be necessary.

If I were a woman, I would love to have lots of kids. But for men, I don’t believe in it.
