I would love to do a movie naked; it would be beautiful. No one dares make that kind of film today. They did it in the 1930s in an arty way, so why not now?

I've learned that being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb. At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they put you on, they're going to tear you down.

Ninety-eight percent of the things that come out of my mouth are intended to be harmless or even charming. They're not ever intended to be offensive or controversial.

I need to behave in a way that will cause people to take me seriously.

People just assume that if you're famous, you're in Hollywood.

If you're billed as a comedian, people will accept anything you say as light-hearted and not with intent behind it.

I'm smart and I can be really funny and interesting and I can go toe-to-toe with anybody in a conversation.
