Quotes

  • [About The Opposite of Sex (1998):] "It's all sort of dressed as a rebel, but it's the sort of a rebel that studies hard and goes to bed early and gets straight As."
  • I think it's very interesting to be a human-being. I think it's weird. You get, if you're lucky, 80 years on a planet and all the time you're here you know you're dying. You're very, very private: nobody really knows you, you don't really want to be known by anybody, and you have to get your satisfaction from fellow creatures like yourself.
