When it comes to sex there are certain things that should always be left unknown, and with my luck, they probably will be.

I'm very proud of my gold pocket watch. My grandfather, on his deathbed, sold me this watch.

Achilles only had an Achilles heel, I have an entire Achilles body.

Everybody knows how awful the world is and what a terrible situation it is and each person distorts it in a certain way that enables him to get through. Some people distort it with religious things. Some people distort it with sports, with money, with love, with art, and they all have their own nonsense about what makes it meaningful, and all but nothing makes it meaningful. These things definitely serve a certain function, but in the end they all fail to give life meaning and everyone goes to his grave in a meaningless way.

I write the script; nobody sees it, not the people that put the money in the picture. I cast who I want, and make the film. That's why I've always felt the only thing standing between me and greatness, is me. There's no excuse for me not to be great except that I'm not.

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

You use sex to express every emotion except love.
