Friedrich Nietzsche

I love to dance so much. It's one of my guilty pleasures in life and my hobby.

Mia Maestro

Advertising is an environmental striptease for a world of abundance.

Marshall McLuhan

I'm doing a Dylan Thomas film, Map of Love, with Mick Jagger producing again. It's a wonderful script.

If you go on TV and say there's no other country in the world where you can be born poor and become rich, you get a huge megaphone.

JeanLuc Godard

No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.
