I'm like an old vampire, so it's important to talk to young people.

My shoes are special shoes for discerning feet.

I never thought that I would sell to young people, but now girls who are 14 and 15 buy my shoes.

I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.

To have dominion by religion, is to have dominion over men's souls, thus over their very spiritual life, and to use the Divine things, which are in their religion, as the means.

'Russian Ark,' I adore - I almost cried at the end of that film, it's so beautiful.
