If you really want to define civilization it should be a culture that doesn't destroy its environment. If you burn down the kitchen one day and expect to eat the next, it is not even intelligent, let alone civilized.

Love is stronger than justice.

Mr. Breschnev says we will bury you, I don't subscribe to that point of view. It seems like such an ignorant thing to do, if the Russians love their children, too.

I really wanted to work with David Lynch. I was a big fan of The Elephant Man and Eraserhead.

I've never lost perspective on who I am. Well, maybe briefly, but generally I'm pretty balanced.

Let your soul be your pilot.

I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.
