And if you're lucky, people buy tickets to see it, and if you're not lucky, [then] they don't like it. But that's all."

"I am not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens."
"Bisexuality doubles your chances of a date on a Saturday night. I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic. If there is reincarnation, I'd like to come back as Warren Beatty's fingertips. I'm such a good lover because I practice a lot on my own. My love life is terrible.

"Eighty percent of success is showing up."
