Quotes

[on what a night out with him would be like] What do people do when they go out? They get drunk. To go out and not drink, I don't understand it. If you go to a nightclub, what is to enjoy there? Nothing. The music is too loud, everybody's sweating, everybody's dancing, it's dark, everybody's pushing, everybody's drunk. And if you're the only guy sober in the nightclub, you don't enjoy it at all. If you're into the groove, you know, you have a couple drinks, you're on the same level as the club, you can sometimes get something positive out of it. But it's not what I like. I prefer to stay in my friends' company, invite girls over.

[on spending a night in a Stockholm jail for soliciting prostitutes] It was great. It was great fun; a very funny time. But I'm never going to go to Sweden again.
