I made enough money to buy a house. That's crazy, but fame proved ephemeral.

My Dad was so open creatively that I was off in search of black turtleneck bathing suits with long sleeves.

I spent most of my life locked in my bedroom, miserable about my raging acne.

It occurred to me, when I was old enough to make rules of my own, that they should be fair and simple.

How strange, when your father's wearing women's clothes and platform shoes, that a pair of loafers looks incredible.

I had a friend whose family had dinner together. The mother would tuck you in at night and make breakfast in the morning. They even had a spare bike for a friend. It just seemed so amazing to me.

Everyone has flaws. It's a matter of finding the ones you can live with.

The idea of licking stamps seemed great fun for me.

I didn't have any concept of age or authority. I remember realising, Oh, the world has rules and we don't.

I think I have a dark view of the world. I have to make everything funny, otherwise it all seems so sad.

I have a tree man coming to trim the jacaranda in my front garden.

A misleading impression not a lie. It was being economical with the truth.

What a picture of a better world you have given us, Mozart!

Heaven, for me, is one focused project - it's like a weird form of autism.

They whose sole bliss is eating can give but that one brutish reason why they live.

The world loves us when we choose to love the world.

Death may whiten in sun or out of it.

Not to find one’s way around a city does not mean much. But to lose one’s way in a city, as one loses one’s way in a forest, requires some schooling.
