Fear changes everything. We're animals, and when we get afraid we act like animals. I'm not exempt from that.
I've been around some very famous people, but no one has the effect Maradona has; people tremble in his presence.
Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert's Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.
I totally related to Cole Porter's magnetic pull to any piano that was in the room, which he was famous for doing, as was Gershwin. You couldn't drag them away from a piano.
Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don't have to be anything else.
There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.
This sounds crazy, but I know so many famous people, I'm just not intimidated by anyone. I feel really comfortable with it.
If you're famous, you suck, just for being famous. People in England totally get that; Americans don't.
I wanted to write a story about a future where everyone has a secret identity, in part because the Internet no longer exists.
Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future.
An interest in ideas is a sign of human life. People are fascinated by what the future is going to be - and the future is going to be an accumulation of ideas.
I think the first rule of comedy is that it has to be funny and I find a lot of the broad comedy which is sent to me, painfully unfunny.
Obviously, in dealing with a relationship, sexuality has to be involved, and jealousy and emotions like that. And I don't know, I've always been intrigued by those emotions.
The idea of trying to create things that last - forever knowledge - has guided my work for a long time now.
It is the gift of seeing the life around them clearly and vividly, as something that is exciting in its own right. It is an innate gift, varying in intensity with the individual's temperament and environment.
We must develop a deeper interest and greater understanding of the people we meet here or abroad. Like us, they are passengers on board that mysterious ship called life.
My only extravagance in life is my sailboat. I'm bonkers about that, but other than that, I don't spend money on myself.
All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.
Life rarely presents fully finished photographs. An image evolves, often from a single strand of visual interest - a distant horizon, a moment of light, a held expression.
There isn't an aspect of book creation I don't enjoy, and there has always been a book in my life to dream about or work on.
There are still so many places on our planet that remain unexplored. I'd love to one day peel back the mystery and understand them.
