The physicality of a real relationship - one that encompasses mind, body and soul - ultimately makes it more fulfilling and powerful than any virtual relationship ever could be.
I'm probably the furthest from being romantic that you've ever seen; I'm not even close to being romantic in any way until I have to be.
My only rule: I never photographed the face of the dead, ever, out of respect for the families.
Look, none of the artists who I admire or respect have ever shied away from a role because it might make them unpopular with somebody.
You can't stop technology or science, and it is snowballing quicker than ever. Something's got to come to a head. How? Who knows? But it will.
People think of the inventor as a screwball, but no one ever asks the inventor what he thinks of other people.
Clinton's hands remain incredibly clean, don't they, and Tony Blair's smile remains as wide as ever. I view these guises with profound contempt.
I'm an incredibly negative person, so any form of success is only ever going to be a relief to me and set my default position back to neutral.
Any degree of success or achievement for me is only ever a relief. My version of getting carried away is: 'Mmm, that wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.'
One press account said I was an overnight success. I thought that was the longest night I've ever spent.
I never assumed I would have that commercial success, so it was a total surprise. And honestly, I never assumed that it would ever happen again.
Has there ever been a society which has died of dissent? Several have died of conformity in our lifetime.
In every interview I have ever read or seen or taken part in, the final question in our future-oriented society is always, What next?
I think the greatest of people that have ever been in society, they were never versions of someone else. They were themselves.
I can't believe there will ever be a time when the book is truly obsolete. It is the perfect technology and feeds the soul.
Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to get married. I think because of the way I was brought up and seeing my parents in love.
I just love westerns. One of my favourite actors is John Wayne, probably one of the most underrated actors there's ever been. He's quite an incredible actor.
Many more people saw me on TV than will ever get to see me on stage, but I do love being in the same room as the people I'm telling the story to.
One of the reasons I didn't ever pursue a career - in the music world if you're black or mixed, you need to be able to belt a song or else you're not a singer, you know?
I had never done TV. I think it's a foolish medium for, most rock 'n roll music. Nobody ever comes off well on TV.
Music has this emotional thing to it, and it touches people in crazy ways. The power of having that power is something that, once you have it, you don't want it to ever end.
