Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering.

I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff.

I'm not this dark, twisted person. Yes, I have my demons and this is my way of exorcising them. It gets them out - and better out than in.

Rodrigo Garcia is a brilliant writer. He just loves women. It is evident. When you are in the presence of him you can just tell he has a terrific understanding of women. He has two daughters, and he loves his wife.

I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine.

We're all the same, we all think its better somewhere else; its better being older if you're younger - or its better being younger when we're older.

I meditate. I do transcendental meditation and I have been doing that for a long time and that does just clear the mind. I am not religious at all.
