Sexuality is, of course, a great way of having a conversation between people.

I have no problems with the NC-17 rating. I want more NC-17 films. More adult cinema!

There's nothing I'm particularly keen to hide about my humanity.

I have this very strange relationship with my work, which is that it's like a conversation between me and it.

It was just me, naked as underneath my clothes right now, as all of you are.

I think there's a dishonorable tradition in Hollywood to give the idea, particularly to children, that evil characters are dark.

I live a soldier's life when I'm working. That's how it feels to me, except I've got a slightly greater chance of survival.

It's wonderful to actually have an opportunity to get real and show how complicated and fascinating sex is.

In my house, a hot dog is a dog that's really hot.

Even beyond sexuality, I'm generally interested in identity.

I'm interested in that whole question of where we wear our identity and how can we see it.

I'm really interested in the idea of long, long life and transformation and immortality.

How do we identify ourselves, and how do we settle into other people's expectations for our identity?

I'm from the same planet as David Bowie.

I would rather be handsome for an hour than pretty for a week.

Most of us live our whole lives without having an adventure to call our own.

Art is good for my soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place.

It's a real comfort zone for me to feel alien.

The enemy is always in the mind.
