Style is innate to who I am. My father gave me a picture the other day. I must have been about seven, and I had on wing-tip shoes and some cool pants. I thought, 'Wow!'

Once you understand that someone has Tourette and that they can't help their tics, it takes away the distraction. And you can engage your compassion. You feel for them. You embrace them.

The Victorian era is the sexiest age for me, but I also like a woman in a pair of jeans.

It is the hour when from the boughs The nightingale's high note is heard It is the hour when lovers' vows Seem sweet in every whisper'd word.

When you really understand that you are what you see and know, you do not run around the countryside thinking, "I am all this!" There is simply all this.

You look at any poetic creature: muslin, ether, demigoddess, millions of delights; then you look into the soul and find the most ordinary crocodile!

The only plan I have is to not do anything I don't want to do - and to never work just for money.

When I put a green, it is not grass. When I put a blue, it is not the sky.

It's really easy to figure out why I love what I love, the holidays and food. I know the difference between having them and not having them.
