“Certainly I was relatively a refined person. No way a tramp.”

But I was very, very unhappy because my mother was very charming and generous, but to me, very dominating.

I hang on to the statement of scientists that there is no time. Therefore, join me in telling everyone you are thirty-two. This allows me to go after young men and plan grabbing husbands from my girlfriends.

My life is full of mistakes. They’re like pebbles that make a good road.

The only works of art America has given are her plumbing and her bridges.

You see, I was never stage-struck the way most girls were.

Do be true to yourself, whether it’s bad doesn’t matter. The important thing – you have to copy while you’re studying.

I was in a convent for a year.

And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.

Celibacy is exhausting.

Choosing to live in the timeless, I am now at the easiest and happiest time of my life.

I happen to believe that there is an afterlife

But you can’t realize, you can’t know what another person goes through.

The person who has a highly evolved will they think, they build an image and they focus on that image.

I’m not an ungenerous person; I don’t resent it. It’s just sort of a head-scratcher.

I’m the same person. I don’t put on a face. I’m the same guy every time you see me.

When you objectify a person living with dementia, you dehumanize them. Once dehumanized, the person becomes a villain.

Nowadays I’m not even sure if newspapers take into account whether a person is a good writer.

What I read is so distorted that I cannot believe that the person they are talking about is myself.

Every time I play with someone, not just a new person, but someone I’ve been with all along, that’s where I really learn.

You are the most difficult person you will ever lead.
