Uh uh uh, turning the car into oncoming traffic... is counterproductive!

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

150 people die every year from being hit by falling coconuts. Not to worry, drug makers are developing a vaccine.

The superfluous, a very necessary thing.

In the creative sense, I'm looking forward to collaborating with people I have mutual respect for to create some really good work.

I love Monet - I've nicknamed him King Blob. When you go up to the painting, it's a series of blobs - amazing.

I don't believe in bringing children into the world out of wedlock.

Now I'm able to align my work and creative life with who I am.

To the man whose senses are alive and alert there is not even the need to stir from one's threshold.

James Cagney as a baby is not my ideal thing.
