I tell you, in my opinion, the cornerstone of democracy is free press - that's the cornerstone.

Because I just loved to spend two years of my life in the company of Andy Kaufman and other characters.

What I like about masturbation is that you don't have to talk afterwards.

You know what happened, you know, in 1938: France, England, you know, just sold out Czechoslovakia to Hitler.

Well, listen, you know, the Czech saying is, you know, when you are drowning you are grabbing even a little twig. That's what all Czechs were doing, grabbing for... with the hope for this little twig.

People who make documentaries have to be faithful to the facts. But when you are making a drama, a fiction based on the life, all you have to be faithful to is the spirit of the facts, which I think I was in every case. As long as you don't violate their spirit, you can play with the facts.

For me, speaking is work. It's not like when you breathe.
