The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

I think that people taking drugs occasionally are great. I think there's nothing wrong with it. But if you do it the whole time, you don't produce as good things as you could.

I'd rather be dead than singing "Satisfaction" when I'm forty-five.

Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.

I didn't really like being at college. It wasn't like it was Oxford and had been the most wonderful time of my life. It was really a dull, boring course I was stuck on.

I didn't want to make teenage comedies, and I didn't want to make really trashy films. I wanted to make films that were a bit challenging.

Life's just a cocktail party - on the street.
