I could be with a woman in a bed, for weeks even, and it would seem to me like three seconds. Or 300 years.

I didn't want to be alone, but I had to learn that the dimensions of my feelings are too violent. I had to learn this.

It is the Nobel Prize I want. It's worth $400,000.

Whenever I was with a woman, I always sort of want another one. So there was always another one. I can't explain this, but it means that these women, they were not sharing my solitude.

About 25 years ago, I was in an apartment, and next door, they put on the radio, so I struck the wall with my fist, but they did not put the radio down. I took a tool and banged until I made a hole through the wall. It was like a comedy movie.

Put a bird cage near the window so that the bird can see the sky? It's much better to look than not to, even if it hurts.
