Les jaloux sont comme les fous et les ivrognes, ils ne se rendent jamais compte de leurs souffrances. La jalousie provient d'un manque de confiance non pas envers l'autre, mais envers soi-même. Eugéne Cloutier

La vie sans musique est tout simplement une erreur, une fatigue, un exil. -Friedrich Nietzsche

“N’importe qui peut sympathiser avec les souffrances d’un ami. Sympathiser avec ses succès exige une nature très délicate.” -Oscar Wilde

I did a short film at Outfest, 'Where Are the Dolls,' based on an Elizabeth Bishop poem done, where I play this woman who is sort of walking the streets and ends up alone dancing in a club. I have this hot and heavy scene with a very beautiful actress. It became very popular.

I found out my limit. I'm not a singer and a dancer.

My own field, the prevention of genetic disorders in babies, has been possible only because of humane work on animals.

I just want to make stories. They don't have to have a moral or a reason. There might be some mild cautionary notes, but they're not moral. They don't impart any Judeo-Christian ethic of any kind.

I don't believe in censorship in any form.

I appreciate recipes that tell you what can be changed and what must remain fixed. 'The Zuni Cafe Cookbook' by the late Judy Rodgers is superb at this.

Today is the only day. Yesterday is gone.

Weeks go by, and I don't talk to another living soul.

I love to go to the gym for a couple of hours daily. Besides, I love my dancing routines; dance helps me unwind, de-stress, and introspect.

My greatest political asset, which professional politicians fear, is my mouth, out of which come all kinds of things one shouldn't always discuss for reasons of political expediency.

I prefer making stuff to talking about how I made the stuff.

The strong bond of sisterhood was a famous trait in classical art and literature about Amazons. But it was modern people who interpreted that as a sexual preference for women. That started in the 20th century. The Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva declared that Amazons were symbolic of lesbianism in antiquity.

So popular is the naval service the only embarrassment is that men volunteer so rapidly we have to work overtime to give them hardy, adequate housing and proper training.

I'm the last person that wants to give away music for free.

I like a naturalism to my dialogue and my comedy. I would rather have a few jokes sail by that might be more subtle than have every single joke hit hard. I would rather the comedy come out of character as opposed to feeling forced. Even if you're giving some laughs up for it.

If you had a successful TV show, people wanted to see you live. Promoters had had practice with pop groups, and 'Python' achieved a similar status. We also had lots of rock star fans - George Harrison, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. Promoters saw that and liked it.

Sadly enough the most painful goodbyes are the ones that are left unsaid and never explained

You don't have to travel, but I find extended travel to be a helpful tool for reexamining yourself and the constraints you've artificially placed on your life. It's easy to believe everything has to be done one way if you're always in one place around the same people.

Meditation: Because some answers can only be found on the Inner net.

One of the distinguishing features of anything that aspires to the name of science is the reproducibility of experimental results.

Finding your place as an artist is the hardest thing. You come out of college with what feels like a Mickey Mouse degree that qualifies you for nothing in the real world.

My father died when I was nine and a half. We were on relief for two years. They call it welfare now, but it was relief then... I never forgot the generosity of New York.

Me being the metal fan that I am, I like to listen to thrash metal to get me pumped - that kind of music will get your heart racing and ready for a crowd.

I quite like ABBA.
