“When you put on a clown suit and a rubber nose, nobody has any idea what you look like inside.”

“You can't get a suit of armour and a rubber chicken just like that. You have to plan ahead.”

“Inside, I was like: "Ha, suck my spiky rubber strap-on, vampyre hunter!”

“I'll put it this way, it's like when you play football and you put on all the gear — the shoes and the pads and the helmet. At first, it's bulky and cumbersome. But then, when you go in the game and you start to play, you don't even know you have it on. Swimming in the suit was like that. Once you get into it, you forget about the suit.”

“Nobody likes a clown at midnight”

“To look in the mirror and like what you see, even when it doesn't look like your idea of beauty.”

“As you see [filmmaking] makes me into a clown. And that happens to everyone — just look at Orson Welles or look at even people like Truffaut. They have become clowns.”

“Hey you! Don't be silly! Put a rubber on your willie!”

“Is it any wonder why Princes & Kings / Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings / When ordinary people who are like you and me / Are the builders of their destiny.”

“Imagine the inside of St. Peter’s in Rome filled with a huge quantity of fibers around a millimeter in diameter that crisscross the building in every direction creating a firm mat – then you have an idea of what the brain looks like when magnified a thousand times.”
