You have to protect yourself, your body, your being. You cannot treat it badly; you have to keep it, make as sensitive as possible

I don't need anybody to tell me how to be alive.

I knew there were, in myself, the souls of millions of people who lived centuries ago; not just people but animals, plants, the elements, things, even, matter. All of these exist in me.

In a way, everything concerning a movie leaves me cold.

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