I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, 'I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.'

Say anything about me, darling, as long as it isn't boring.

I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.

If I were well behaved, I'd die of boredom.

My father warned me about men and booze but he never said anything about women and cocaine.

I detest acting because it is sheer drudgery.
