If my films make one more person miserable, I'll feel I have done my job.

I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.

I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.

When we played softball, I'd steal second base, feel guilty and go back.

Power is changing hands, from dying hierarchies to living networks.

For me, life and death are very important themes. There is no life without death. That's why it's very important to me.

There will be no funeral! Before I get too old and ill, I'll go to South America and live among the Pemon people and meditate. When the time is right, they can throw my body into the volcano.

My children can't see many of the films that I've been in because I'm always either dying or taking my clothes off.
