I don't think many actors are that good, to be honest. I certainly don't think I am.

I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.

It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.

To give and not expect anything in return, that is what lies at the heart of love.

I seem to have been everywhere in the last 30 years, maybe not in the epicenter but flying around the periphery of extraordinary events and equally extraordinary people.

I have nothing to complain about.. except maybe people wondering if a queen like me can be butch-it-up enough to play a convincing straight man.

From my point of view, being out is not about anything political. It's just because I can't be bothered to be in.

I smell of sweat. I don't like people smelling of all these weird things. I think deodorant is disgusting.

Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me.

We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success, but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser, it's like living fertiliser, because you're forced on yourself.

You're not allowed to be an eccentric in the world, you have to fit it.

We have the best chance of communicating our thoughts if we are sincere and speak from the heart, without hidden intent.

Never argue with a fool, people might not notice the difference

I love my country better than my family; but I love humanity better than my country.

Nothing we learn about the universe threatens our faith. It only enriches it.

The first man who compared woman to a rose was a poet; the second, an imbecile.

The quality will remain when the price is forgotten.

What I'm really concerned about is reaching one person. And that person may be myself for all I know.

You know people are always putting Ulysses in the top 10 books ever written but I doubt that any of those people were really moved by it.

God created me to delight people with my goals.
