I'm not a great poetry fan.

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.

Which goes to show you, you can make all the laws you want, but you cannot change people's ways. If you must change them, you have to understand that it will take a long time.

A mind concerned about danger is a clouded mind. It's paralyzing.

My favorite jacket is an emergency item. Much like myself, it is both snuggly and fashionable.

This notion of changing technology interests me. I work on a computer now, and it's not been easy to adjust. I still prefer to have my hands on film when I'm editing.

Information is just signs and numbers, while knowledge involves their meaning. What we want is knowledge, but what we get is information.

What I cannot follow are the manic-depressive fluctuations from total control to no control, from the serialization of all elements to chance.

Artists are free to push boundaries to make art. But when pushing boundaries is their only aim, the result is usually bad art.

A comedian needs to have his own filters, needs to know his audience, how far he can push things.

Here's what no one ever tells you about love: it hurts, having your heart broken

Bless people when they revile you. Think how much good they are doing by helping to stamp out the false ego.
