I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.

Sex is hardly ever just about sex.

A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused.

The person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused.

It's useless to hold a person to anything he says while he's in love, drunk, or running for office.

For me, the safest place is out on a limb.

I'd like to introduce someone who has just come into my life. I've admired him for 35 years. He's someone who represents integrity, honesty, art, and on top of that stuff I'm actually sleeping with him.

Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.

Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself.

I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

The best way to get husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they are too old to do it.

I want women to be liberated and still be able to have a nice ass and shake it.

I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.

The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.

Crystals amplify the consciousness.

I can't advise any of the young ones, because I don't know what their background was, but I would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a real problem.

I can't give up my own identity.

I don't do like diva trips and stuff.

I don't feel competitive.

I don't have an assistant. I make a lot of people around me my slaves, but no assistant.

I don't know why anybody would be in awe of me.

I don't like to socialise much.

I don't think you go out of style when you're living in the present most of the time. And I think that is what I do.

I live in too many cities.

I mean, I'm just speaking of my own experiences and my own desires, and it's a kind of a childlike wonder that could really possibly speculate on other dimensions.

I never would have given up my work to stay home.

I think male actors get confused by their own vanity.

I think we plan everything, somehow, on another level.

I think when I was in my early twenties and middle twenties I didn't even know I wasn't living up to my potential. A couple of friends told me I wasn't and told me to get my act together, and it made a huge impact on me.

I was afraid I would get the Oscar for 'Irma La Douce' because it was popular. But I didn't want to because I didn't really think it was that good.

I'm a peaceful person once work ethic is established.

I've been through so much of my own self-search that I'm not as consumed with who I am as I used to be.

If anything interferes with my inner peace, I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.

If they would teach us from the time we're little to meditate and get in touch with all that our souls know, we wouldn't fight so much.

My mother was Canadian, so you never knew what she was thinking.

Of course I'm schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.

Of course, we're all a mass of contradictions.

People think I'm nuts.

Remember, I come from such an excessively overdone, red-carpet place called Hollywood. So I'm used to people blowing up their success in ways that are far above and beyond the truth.

The comedy of class, played so straight, is a wonderful thing for an actor to sink their teeth into.

The mob taught me how to play gin rummy.

The more I've learned about me, the more I'm interested in others.

The soul is everlasting, and its learning experience is lifetime after lifetime.

We've had so many lifetimes of different cultures and different religions and different points of view and different wars and different loves and different children.

Well, success does not mean doing well.

Well, when you're relaxed, your mind takes you to the whole reality. There's no such thing as time when you're really relaxed. That's why meditation works.

Women being pitted each other another in Hollywood is an old tactic, but it's not real at all.
