I wasn't really raised to be the type of person to have doubts.

I probably have more female friends than any man I've ever met. What I like about them is that almost always they're generally mentally tougher, and they're better listeners, and they're more capable of surviving things.

We're all animals.

I believe in humans.

Most of the women that I like have a haunted quality - they're sort of like women who live in a haunted house all by themselves.

I'm an atheist.

In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody’s in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.

You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn’t mean you can design one.

I’ve always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate.

I’m more likely to lose my temper on a film set than almost anywhere. Often the level of idiocy is so exalted that it’s impossible to comprehend.
