“I don’t trust a lot of journalists.”

The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.

Anyone who is secure about herself shouldn’t be threatened by the ads I do.

I won’t allow myself to have tremendous fear.

I don’t dwell on success. Maybe that’s one reason I’m successful.

I guess I don’t have a proper perspective on my fame; if I did, I don’t think I’d like it.

AIDS is an absolutely tragic disease. The argument about AIDS’ being some kind of divine retribution is crap.

I’ve been strong and determined all my life about many things I’ve wanted.

I’m crazy, and I don’t pretend to be anything else.

There’s an awareness of fashion in this country, and it’s not limited to gay people.

If you really love someone and care about him, you can survive many difficulties.

Women’s Wear Daily can do more than any other publication to establish a designer.

I’m a sexual person, and that’s reflected in my clothes and my advertisements.

People in their 70s can still have incredible lives. Health is the most important thing.

We’re not doing outrageous fashion; I make sports clothes that are relatively conservative, clothes that everyone wears.

I still drink vodka; I’m not an advocate of drinking, but I’m no angel. I don’t like grass, because it just makes me hungry.

People read things into my commercials that don’t even exist.

Serious journalists often imagine society is adrift because people don’t know certain things.

I’ve been a lavatory attendant, a theatre usher, a panhandler, all for real. Now, as an actor, I can be a journalist today and a brain surgeon tomorrow. That’s the stuff my dreams are made of.

I’ve had journalists asking me, ‘What do we call you – is it handicapped, are you disabled, physically challenged?’

I spend a lot of time talking to journalists.

It depends on the journalist, it depends how much information they have about the case and which perspective they are asking you from. All of these things can play a role.

Because it’s up to the journalist not only to understand what I’m trying to convey, but to convey that understanding through their process.

I don’t think there’s any question journalists have become targets, but then I think that – that anyone who tries to practice liberty becomes a target of fanatics.

I think if journalists start doing that then they won’t be practicing journalism. If satirists start doing that then they won’t be practicing satire.
