I probably have more female friends than any man I've ever met. What I like about them is that almost always they're generally mentally tougher, and they're better listeners, and they're more capable of surviving things. And most of the women that I like have a haunted quality - they're sort of like women who live in a haunted house all by themselves.
I don't care what other people think. I don't think it matters.
I wasn`t really raised to be the type of person to have doubts.
Nothing you do particularly matters. But I'm not sure that's a great excuse for doing it poorly.
If you're too smart it can limit you because you spend so much time thinking that you don't do anything.
There are many, many benefits to being known for whatever it is you do. To deny that would be sort of asinine and vulgar.
The ghosts you chase you never catch.
Art is not disposable. If you want it, you have to hold it and smell it and touch it and read the credits and enjoy it and put it on your wall.
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.
For a while I wanted to be a professional baseball pitcher, and then I wanted to be a musician and then sometimes I think I'd like to start a store for gift-wrapping Christmas presents... But I feel I could do most things I set my mind to, except mechanical things, I'm not very good at that.
And may the best of you - for it will only be the best of you, and even then only in the rarest and briefest moments - succeed in framing that most basic of questions, 'how do we live?'
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
Some people die before their time so that others can live. It's a cornerstone of civilization.
It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.
I can have incredible self-discipline. But see, I think it's obviously a form of stupidity.
You have to play your characters, not like them.
Failure's a natural part of life.
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
Imagine how asleep or utterly unperceptive and clueless you would have to be not to see yourself as absurd for the most part.
The one natural gift I have is easy access. That's the only natural I gift I have at all. You have to have that, the third eye.
I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that - the ghosts you chase you never catch.
Along with the good qualities, if someone isn't vulnerable I can't be around them to a certain extent. And I don't mean vulnerable to me or vulnerable to me in a sexual way. I just mean vulnerable, period.
I mean, anything that money can be made off will never be a problem to make, no matter what it is.
I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
