I think of myself as a theater animal instead of an intellectual animal.

I once did a radio program with a famous materialist, that is to say a scientist who believed that absolutely everything was physical and that all emotions were reductive to little electrical impulses in your neurons. And I found that I didn't believe that. But what the emotions really are, I don't have an alternative theory.

I think I give the impression of being a romantic, and I think inside I'm quite severe. But some might say they had the opposite impression of me.
