I don’t like celebrities; I don’t hang out with them; I don’t relate to that life.

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.

Dude, maybe not everyone loves ‚Glee.‘ Me included. I watched 10 minutes and it wasn’t my thing.

I’m not a nerd, obviously. Do I look like one? I’m not someone who sits at home and doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to watch movies. I like to live my life.

Too many of us now tend to worship self indulgence and consumption.

The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that’s what’s happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.

In Boston, they love their sports celebrities. And it’s great.

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

I wonder how many decisions we make every day. I believe it’s probably hundreds. We decide whether or not to get out of bed, what we’ll eat, what we’ll do, what we’ll think about, what we’ll say… and on and on.

I always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.

Music is really driving my whole life.

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don’t have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.

Music is part of the life of fashion, too.

Never get out of bed before noon.

Hollywood has a way of making everything seem like an overnight success.

Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I’ll show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities.

One of my lungs is half gone, and the other half, because I smoked for years, has a lesion. So I can’t swim anymore and had the swimming pool covered over. Now it’s what I call the dance pavilion, and so I and my friends sit out and put music on and watch people dance.

I don’t even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.

We have to rediscover the eternal values and then live them out.

I’m very much a creature of habit.

In my normal life I’m a very unadventurous person.

I’m as skeptical as anyone would be about celebrities and causes – and I will dare to say to you that I don’t think of myself as a celebrity per se.

I don’t think I could think of a single thing that’s more isolating than being famous.

I’ve lived in a big showplace house, and I never want to live again in a house that overshadows me.

I have quite a decent constitution in spite of all my abuse of it and my advanced years. I’m still quite robust.

You have freedom when you’re easy in your harness.

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed.

Here comes 40. I’m feeling my age and I’ve ordered the Ferrari. I’m going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.

Without gambling, I would not exist.

Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.

Until 1914 I loved to travel; I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling, and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years.

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.

Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

I’m filthy rich!

When I was 8, I thought I was Harrison Ford, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Elvis, and Chuck Norris all at once.

In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.

I became a beach bum.

I do the dishes every night – other people volunteer, but I like the way I do it.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

I love San Francisco and Brighton has something of San Francisco about it. It’s by the sea, there’s a big gay community, a feeling of people being there because they enjoy their life there.

Speed provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.

I’m at peace with what I’m doing, I feel good with what I wake up doing and about my lifestyle.

A lot of people don’t like the road, but it’s as natural to me as breathing.

I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.

Our lifestyle was not in any way a negative. That was not the problem. That is and will remain one of the wonderful opportunities we are able to give our children.

In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, ‚why don’t I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,‘ and they abandon their values.

I’m certainly well taken care of in terms of food and clothes.

All styles are good except the tiresome kind.

A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle.

I didn’t have any children of my own.

I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.

Overnight stardom can be harmful to your mental health. Yeah. It has ruined a lot of people.

Fame is like caviar, you know – it’s good to have caviar but not when you have it at every meal.

You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.

It was a strike against me that I didn’t wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs.

The celebrity-chef thing, even at its worst, its most annoying, its silliest, its goofiest, its most egregious and cynical, has been a good thing.

Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.
