I don’t like to talk to people, because I can’t express myself satisfactorily. I don’t say the things I mean.
I cannot see myself as a wife. Ugly word.
I always look well when I'm near death.
Love is a romantic designation for a most ordinary biological process-or, shall we say, chemical-process ... a lot of nonsense is talked and written about it.

If you are blessed, you are blessed, whether you are married or single.

I'm not always sincere. One can't be in this world, you know.

I have made enough faces.
