I want to be an artist, not... a celluloid aphrodisiac.

Nearly everyone I knew talked to me about God. They always warned me not to offend Him.

Creativity has got to start with humanity and when you're a human being, you feel, you suffer. You're gay, you're sick, you're nervous or whatever.

I'm for the individual as opposed to the corporation. The way it is the individual is the underdog, and with all the things a corporation has going for them the individual comes out banged on her head. The artist is nothing. It's really tragic.

Creativity starts with humanity when were being human we feel - joys, sadness, when we're sick, when we're nervous

A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night.

I want to say to the people, if I am a star, the people made me a star. No studio, no person, but the people did.
