I actually love Scorsese comedies. He's an underrated comedy director. I think his comedies are some of the best comedies ever made.

I don't want to go to the Bahamas on holiday. I hate islands. I want to go to Brittany, where it's cold and raining, and there's nothing fancy about it.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.

I'm an adaptable nomad. I love Paris, I've been living in Los Angeles and New York since 1990. I love London, too. My roots are inside of me.

I was six years old when I saw my first Godard movie, eight when I first experienced Bergman. I wanted to be a director when I was fourteen.

My therapist in Paris once told me that being creative is a better form of therapy for me than sitting on his couch.

Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

I can't really explain the feeling of acting. It makes you the most insecure you can possibly be.

Maybe I'm a bit of a psycho-but I'd rather be psycho than boring.

I like doing sequels. Basically, I think it's a fun thing to follow characters in time. In real time.

After or before any happiness, someone must cry.

I belong everywhere and nowhere, and I alone can save two worlds.

I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

I do not need to love you to prove that I love myself!!

I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange.

Award shows are really silly. I'm very happy for the people that win the awards, and I can say they're really silly, but I would love to get one. So I also know wasting time on that is pointless.

It gets really dark before it gets light.

Words engage our minds, but in the silence we hear the Presence of God.

I haven't seen a tractor working all day. The country has gone sane and got back to horses. Farmers all look worse, but they feel better.

By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.
