I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.

Youthfulness is about how you live not when you were born.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.

Virgos are very faithful. I'm a faithful friend. I'm a faithful lover.

Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young. You can fool anyone, apart from the young. The worst are the lip operations.
