Making love? It's a communion with a woman. The bed is the holy table. There I find passion -- and purification.

I'm very wary about giving advice. I think it's very dangerous to give advice to people, except if you know them very well.

I never fell in love with another woman. I cannot have a relationship with a woman if I'm not in love...I'm a very particular person, I'm not very much interested in short adventures with women or girls. I have to fall in love with someone in order to have a realtionship with her.

This character in the film, these things that he says which sound like advice and wise things, they are very common for Orientals. It's all the tradition.

Women know when they've got the menopause but men don't quite know. They know it afterwards.

I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can't concentrate properly on the one thing.

I can't say I gave up totally my passion for women but almost.
