There used to be this country called the Soviet Union it's not there anymore. Our technology was better than theirs.

I hate war. Absolutely, I hate war.

Titian, Rembrandt and Goya were the great painters. I am only a public clown.

Basically for me a story can be anything. Anything you tell me, anything I read in the newspaper, in any mode. I don't have any restrictions.

So many guys are so conservative with their hair, and I always joke with all my buddies when they mess with me, and I'll say, 'That's right, keep the same haircut for ten years.' How fun is that?
