“A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.”

The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love.

It’s hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.

What is important is that we stop and realize, “Okay. This is fine. I can enjoy that. But what is really important, what I’m really going to take away with me from this life, is my connection with other people.

I know one day I’ll be irrelevant. No matter how hard you try there is a cultural moment, but eventually that window’s gone, your time on Earth is finished, and you might as well leave. I could absolutely die tomorrow – I would not care. I feel like I’ve lived, I feel like I’ve had a great life.

Want girls to let you put your fingers in certain places? Get a manicure.

Time and silence are the most luxurious things today.

The world might be a very scary place if it were only run by Virgos.

At home, off-duty, I wear T-shirts from Fruit of the Loom – but I have them tailored.

Nothing is more confusing than people who give good advice but set a bad example.

Woman’s advice has little value, but he who won’t take it is a fool.
