I am two with nature.

I'm such a good lover because I practice a lot on my own.

I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.

Real life is generally much duller and inevitably sadder, most of the time. In film, you control everything that's going on, so you can indulge the most fantastic, romantic, escapist feelings and fantasies. You can do anything you want. That's why it's very seductive and pleasurable to earn your living making movies because you're not living in the real world.

You'll find as you go through life that great depth and smoldering sensuality don't always win.

I never have an alter ego in the movies. That's a fiction that the press has made up over the years, and it's fun to write that. It gives them something to write.

I am not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens.
