“Power is the ability to do good things for others.”

“One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time.”

“I married beneath me. All women do.”

“But everything changes. To deny change is to deny life. And the present moment contains miracles. Including an ability to see and receive the new.”

“I don’t think Garbo with her clothes off, panting in a brass bed, would have been more sexy than she was.”

“I admire nudity and I like sex, and so did a lot of people in the Thirties. But, to me, overexposure blunts the fun…Sex as something beautiful may soon disappear. Once it was a knife so finely honed the edge was invisible until it was touched and then it cut deep. Now it is so blunt that it merely bruises and leaves ugly marks. Nudity is fine in the privacy of my own bedroom with the appropriate partner. Or for a model in life class at art school. Or as portrayed in stone and paint. But I don’t like it used as a joke or to titillate. Or be so bloody frank about.”
