I always wanted to be fashionable.
I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.
Most of the women that I like have a haunted quality - they're sort of like women who live in a haunted house by themselves.
Unlike my grandfather or my brother, I've actually been able to make some money at a racetrack.
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.
It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.
I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
My father was a very contradictory man.
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
Along with the good qualities, if someone isn't vulnerable I can't be around them to a certain extent. And I don't mean vulnerable to me or vulnerable to me in a sexual way. I just mean vulnerable, period.
I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that - the ghosts you chase you never catch.
