All my life I have lived and behaved very much like the sandpiper - just running down the edges of different countries and continents, 'looking for something'.

The armored cars of dreams, contrived to let us do so many a dangerous thing.

The pigs stuck out their little feet and snored.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

You must never lose that touch of childishness. You need it if you wish to write for children, if you wish to understand the heart of a child. Children are good, you see. And they expect good.

I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life - to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.
