I've been popular and unpopular successful and unsuccessful loved and loathed and I know how meaningless it all is. Therefore I feel free to take whatever risks I want.

When you're writing something and you know it's good, you get flushed, you can feel the blood coursing through your veins, you feel alive, all your nerve endings stand up, something just clicks.

You can tell how much fun a city is going to be if Nobu is in it.

You have to be patient. I'm not!

You don't have to have a language in common with someone for a sexual rapport. But it helps if the language you don't understand is Italian.

No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.

I hate polite conversation. I hate it when people stand around and go, "Hi, how are you?" I hate words that don't have any reason or meaning. Also I hate it when people smoke in elevators and closed in places. It's just so rude.
