L.A. still ranks as one of my guilty pleasures, along with butter-pecan ice cream and Coldplay albums.
I played a homosexual bodyguard in 'The Last Detective,' and that was quite a pleasure to do something slightly different. I was a very camp bodyguard!
Imagination is a screen onto which the evil spirits can 'project' images, temptations presented as stimulating entertainments, offering us pleasurable rewards if we give in to the temptation.
The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?
Imagination is Reality Lite - a useful substitute when the real pleasure is inaccessible, too risky, or too much work.

A man who truly knows himself realizes his own worthlessness, and takes no pleasure in the praises of men.
Film is fragmented and gets into lots of other people's hands. There are a lot of pleasures that theatre gives me. You get to perform uninterrupted.
And going into my studio at night, particularly at night when everybody's asleep, is just a total pleasure for me.
I realized I didn't need to go to work every day. I could work for the pleasure and the challenge, not for the mortgage payment.
It was a pleasure to work with Destiny's Child in the beginning of their career. Working in the studio with Beyonce was a lot of fun. She's an extremely hard worker, perfectionist, and a talented writer.
