You need a touch of madness, just enough that you don't become stupid!

Cocaine for me was a place to hide. Most people get hyper on coke. It slowed me down. Sometimes it made me paranoid and impotent, but mostly it just made me withdrawn.

I was once walking in an airport and a woman came up to me and said, 'Be zany!'. That'd be like walking up to Baryshikov and going, 'Plie! Just do a plie! Do it! Do a releve right now! Lift my wife!'

I was an only child. I did have kind of like a lonely existence.

I love to ride my bike, which is great aerobics, but also just a great time for me to think, so it's like this terrific double bill.

There are times when life's just real quiet and simple. I sometimes get tired of people saying, "Well, what are you really like?"

There's three things in this world that you need: Respect for all kinds of life, a nice bowel movement on a regular basis, and a navy blazer.
