Quote

I love people who are real.

I like down-to-earth people.

I always talk about my characters like they're real people.

I love salt. Then again, who doesn't?

I take real people and put them in extraordinary situations.

I like men who are very cool but who are also so brilliant that they are almost insane. Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits - men who would be flipping burgers if they hadn't found an outlet for their brilliant mind-sets.

I like men who are intelligent and sensitive.

People who are the salt of the earth get up and go to a job that they hate.

Real people are places to me as much as persons: I want to see them, as I want to see the places I am fond of, in all weathers and at all times of the year.

I like men. They are hugely entertaining, but they have a lot of shortcomings and you just have to bear those in mind.
