When I'm not working, I think and I think when I get depressed.

I'm a teleological, existential agnostic.

What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream? Or what's worse, what if only that fat guy in the third row exists?

I should have known something was wrong with my first wife. When I brought her home to meet my parents, they approved of her.

Visually I've always liked the 20s 30s for film. I do these because I like the music. I like the clothes. I like the way the women and the guys look. There are soldiers and sailors and gangsters with the machine guns in their violin cases. It's a very colorful era of New York, full of great theater and great nightclubs and great jazz.

Another good thing about being poor is that when you are seventy your children will not have you declared legally insane in order to gain control of your estate.

We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
