Sometimes, if you really want to try something original, you step a little too far out of bounds. I mean, there's a market force that kind of unconsciously keeps you in line a little bit.

I don't know if I'd want to do that anymore, because you always get bigger laughs on college campuses. So, when the film plays in front of a city audience, you've probably cut too loosely.

I believe in justice, maybe not in this life, but there has to be justice. And if there isn't a God, I think it would be very depressing. I'd prefer to believe there is.

I've always thought those guys are really funny. And I love Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin and Mary.

Oh yeah, I believe in God. I think there's much more evidence that there is a God than that there isn't. I don't believe that Mother Theresa and Hitler go to the same place.

We didn't realize it at the time, but the release date, the ad campaign and the poster are so important.

To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.

The musical performances do more than enrich the movie; they complete it.

My work is never just fashion, landscape, or portraiture; it's always kind of an odd mixture of everything. I like muddling it together.

Morality is doing what is right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right.

The urgency for reducing climate emissions is too great. We must take our collective experience and use it toward making green design a part of all design.

Both this song ['Black Skinhead'], 'I Am a God' and this song were made after Hedi Slimane didn't let me into his first Saint Laurent show.

All we want in this life is peace, prosperity and a little paper...

There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.
