The thing about death is that it's honest.

I made a supreme effort not to do that thing that parents do which is to bore people without children to death by going on and on about how funny their children are so there's none of that hopefully.

Even when you're making a movie about life death is a presence and I guess it's part of my dramatic viewpoint. I'm not sure why exactly. Maybe I'm drawn to it as a story element.

As a kid all I thought about was death. But you can't tell your parents that.

When I listen to music I don't want to hear about flowers. I like death and destruction.

People think celebrities don't have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It's like you've traveled to this Land of Celebrity this other country. They want you to tell about what you saw.

For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural death is the obscene mystery the ultimate affront the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied.

There is something about poverty that smells like death.

Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I'd like to add a third certainty: trash. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes I want to talk about reducing trash.

I was fantasising about my own death I started thinking what my funeral would be like and what music would be played I was at that level of insanity.

I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot.
