I wouldn't wear makeup, and I didn't like to let boys open the door for me because I felt like it was sexist.

I have mad luck. I'm super-good at games like backgammon or anything that requires rolling dice.

Sometimes I feel that the people I'm writing are more real to me than the people around me. When you take that imaginative leap, you're living so much in that world.

I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.

Paloma you cry out, you beg for connection The dreams you seek are straight ahead in every direction

Logic is one thing and commonsense another.

They don't produce anything. All they do is guide you through the labyrinth of the legal system that they created - and they keep changing it just in case you start to catch on.

A lot of ideas don't translate very well into art. To say, "Oh my god, the grass is green ..." You're going to end up with a big green painting.

We didn't really want to be an overnight success as that brings with it its own problems.

The economic success of the Reagan Administration was largely dependent upon the pyramiding of massive debt and the siphoning of capital from the rest of the world.

How often has Hitler said to me: 'I know that my decision or action is correct. I cannot explain at the moment why, but I feel that it is right and the future will prove it so'.

I have a brother younger than me. My mother was a librarian, so from her, I got the taste to read.

The nineties, ecstatic decade!
