I love informality. I hate dressing up. I hate to be conventional - and I hate every kind of snob.

I passionately hate the idea of being with it; I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.

Ignorance sheer ignorance. There is no confidence to equal it. It's only when you know something about a profession that you are timid or careful.

If I ever own a restaurant, I will never allow the waiters to ask if the diners like their dishes. Particularly when they're talking.

There are three intolerable things in life - cold coffee, lukewarm champagne, and overexcited women.

I feel I have to protect myself against things. So I'm pretty careful to lose most of them.
