Basically I'm a very serious person, but I think the form it takes with me is comedy. I see the amusing side of all potentially pompous situations.

The stupidity of a stupid man is exercised in a restricted field; the stupidity of an intelligent man has a much wider diffusion, and a far greater effect, aided as it is by the element of surprise.

All the hideously calculated hypocrisy of men when they commit a murder in the name of justice. Then it's the time of death on a grander scale, the hour of the great offenses ... fix your bayonets boys ...gentlemen, synchronize your watches ... in ten seconds time the barrage starts ... a thousand men are destined to die in order to capture a farmhouse no one has lived in for years...

Books, I don't know what you see in them. I can understand a person reading them, but I can't for the life of me see why people have to write them.

That weakness in human nature which goes by the name of strength.

The older I get, the more people listen to me - even though I say the same as always.

I am an international citizen conceived in Russia, born in England, working in Hollywood, living in Switzerland, and touring the World.
