I live a very nice life. I have a wonderful time. But it's not lived drawing on a full level. I'm relaxed, cool, and enjoying it.

The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.

Of course I have regrets; I'm not stupid.

I once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, 'sociologist.'

Life has changed. People have changed. They are more forgiving, less inclined to rush to judgment. And I have changed.

I haven't got purity, and I don't think I ever did. I have always been, even as a child, a very decadent little person.

I don't see decadence really as what you do, because I don't do much at all that is decadent in my life. But I still am decadent. It's a state of mind, I think.
