I've had a long life and a lot of relationships and not one of them do I wish - well, I take that back - there are a couple I could have done without.
One of my weaknesses happens to be lying, and I could tell you that I'm never going to lie again in my life, but that would be a lie.
The autobiographical doesn't interest me. I could think of few things less interesting than rooting about in my life.
I could never live a nonproductive life and I feel that I have lived a productive life as far as I want to in terms of this company that I have for so many years.
I have a personal life and a professional life, and there's no way to separate them; for a while I tried, but no one could find me.
I mean, the things you think will never happen, you have to confront; those things that come into your life that you thought you never could deal with, you do.
Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.
Since I quit banking, all my major life decisions, when they could, have revolved around writing.
I remember reading the script for 'Dangerous Liaisons' and thinking that I could quite happily spend the rest of my life watching this film; the story and the writing were so wonderful.
I have lived most of my life with the conviction that I don't dream, because I never could retrieve a dream.
Tattoos, for me, are like a timeline of my life. I could look at a certain tattoo, and it reminds of me of a certain time in my life and why I got that tattoo.
My music started as a way to break through weaknesses - like anxiety, which was completely taking over my whole life, where I could barely function.
I used to brag that I can hold up any eviction - even if the landlord had legal rights, I could hold it up for a year.
I love the idea that magic and witchcraft and battles between supernatural creatures could be raging all around us but just out of our sight.
When you become a parent, it blows you open in ways that you never thought possible in terms of a level of love that I know I never thought I could possibly have.
If only the strength of the love that people feel when it is reciprocated could be as intense and obsessive as the love we feel when it is not; then marriages would be truly made in heaven.
I'd love to be in a feature film, and I don't just mean in a starring role - it could be a small part. And I would like to act in television, to do comedy and drama.
I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.
I would love do a guest spot on 'Castle' because Nathan Fillion is so dreamy, and he and I are friends. And I think we could have a lot of fun.
One lady told me that before she saw 'Sounder' she didn't believe black people could love each other, have deep relationships in the same way as white people.
I used to love going on a junket and promoting a film when it was not a 24-hour news cycle, and when there weren't so many media outlets. You could actually talk about the film.
