A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you

I'm shy, but not on a one-to-one basis. Over the years, I have become acclimatised to a bit of publicity.

Writing that flirts with incoherence can just as readily flounder as writing characterized by simplicity and composure. There is no reliable formula for originality, and strategies that are distinguished as innovative in their first incarnation can quickly become stale in the hands of lesser artists.

The Onion Field, that one got pretty close to me because I was a cop when it happened. I saw some of the indifference that my police department showed to the surviving officer.

I can just say exactly what happened.

I like fresh and clean. I don't ever want anyone to smell me and say, 'Oh that guy is wearing a lot of cologne.' I want people to smell me and say, 'You smell really good!' I think there is a difference.

The other thing that happened in 1883 was my reading of Thoreau's Walden.

Astrology can clear up or mix up a person as much as any other psychological, philosophical or religious mirror, a looking glass in the endless mirror hall of life.

I have this obsession with pea pods. They're just really nice to look at. They can be perfect.

I'm a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.

It actually was a complete departure having a woman playing M. I didn't realize at the time that it would be so noticed.

All has been looted, betrayed, sold; black death's wing flashed ahead.
