Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.

People are losing the capacity to listen to words or follow ideas.

If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.

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

I don't want any description of me to be accurate; I want it to be flattering. I don't think people who have to sing for their supper ever like to be described truthfully - not in print anyway. We need to sell tickets, so we need good reviews.

I'm a lurid character!

Hollywood is a gold-plated suburb suitable for golfers, gardeners, assorted middlemen, and contented movies stars. I am none of these things.
