I was alone as a child. I lived in fairytales, adventures, Shakespeare. They are the friends, my books.

I don't regret any past. I am not there. I am not sorry not to make pictures, because I know one day I will do it. I intend to live 150 years.

I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest. I don't believe anymore in religions, because you see today there are religious wars, prejudice, false morals, and the woman is despised. Religion is too old now; it's from another century, it's not for today.

Scientific thought and the miraculous unconscious are two waves in the same ocean.

Professional comedians, surprisingly, have a lack of humor. They're insensitive to the insanity of our times.

If you think of the people who are funny in your life, you'll note it's not because they tell jokes, it's because of their character. If you develop characters, then you'll know them, and you'll know how they'll speak. The comedy will come out of the character.

I see parody as another form of comedy.

Leonard Cohen has a way with words and with humor that remind me to lighten up, which I appreciate very much.
