If you still think you're a young pup then you are, no matter what the calendar says

Animal lovers are a special breed of humans, generous of spirit, full of empathy, perhaps a little prone to sentimentality, and with hearts as big as a cloudless sky

It's just the most amazing thing to love a dog, isn't it? It makes our relationships with people seem as boring as a bowl of oatmeal.

A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.

He taught us the art of unqualified love. How to give it, how to accept it. Where there is that, most other pieces fall into place.

Dogs are great. Bad dogs, if you can really call them that, are perhaps the greatest of them all.

The question isn't why organic food is so darned expensive, it's really about why chemically sprayed, poisoned food is so cheap.

Just as women's bodies are softer than men's, so their understanding is sharper.

I am like a wounded animal in a remote isolated place - How wonderful! - How happy!

Every idea I get I have to deny, that's my way of testing it.

Love alone is not enough. Without imagination, love stales into sentiment, duty, boredom. Relationships fail not because we have stopped loving but because we first stopped imagining.

The brains -the thinking organs- are the world producers -nature's genitals.

Most cinema is not about images but text. Why on earth have we based cinema on text? Why can't we break that umbilical cord? Why do we have to pollute cinema?

Buy all shoes, both street and running, slightly longer and wider than your bigger foot. Also, avoid pointed shoes. You'll save yourself needless foot pain.

Nearly everyone will lie to you, given the right circumstances.
