My favourite part [of Pulp Fiction] is when Sam has his gun out in the diner and he tells the guy to tell his girlfriend to shut up. ‘Tell that bitch to be cool. Say: Bitch be cool.’ I love those lines.

That’s one of the reasons I do not travel much.

Look beyond the individual to the cause of his misery.

I had learned one of the bitter lessons of life: never try to regain the past, the fire will have become ashes.
