If I have some free time, I leave PARIS with some books about the CINEMA. If I'm not filming, I'm watching FILMS.

An ARTIST has no HOME in EUROPE EXCEPT in PARIS.

'Paris the Heiress.' I TEASE her about that.

Prague is the PARIS of the '90s.

I thought of PARIS as a beauty spot on the FACE of the EARTH, and of LONDON as a big freckle.

Pop MUSIC has been all but relegated to the remainder bin at MTV and VH1, where high-maintenance concoctions such as Paris Hilton, Flavor Flav, and Hulk Hogan's biohazard clan of bleached specimens PROVIDE endless hours of death-hastening diversion.

If all I did was pretend I was Wilderness Jimmy, I would GO stale. You know, I fish maybe 100 DAYS of the year and bird-hunt, but if I didn't go to Paris once or TWICE a year, I'd be CRAZY.

I think that taking night trains or MEETING someone on the ROAD is PRETTY romantic. I've done a couple of things like that. I've surprised someone in Paris. And hopefully, when you SURPRISE someone, they're happy to see you.

If you COME from PARIS to Budapest you THINK you are in MOSCOW.

I miss a LOT about Paris. After THREE and a half years, you get a little sick of it, and you just want to be home. But there are little THINGS, sights. Like seeing the Eiffel Tower every day, that's KIND of cool.

I THINK I generally go to PARIS more when I have people COME and VISIT.

I LIKE to WATCH 'Paris, TEXAS,' but I have no DESIRE to SEE it. I did it.

The FIRST fashion SHOW I ever attended was for Ritu Beri in 1997 or 1998. I think that was the first time Ritu had designed for one of my movies 'Yeh Raastein HAIN Pyaar Ke.' She had done a show in PARIS, and she had done the same show in Delhi. It was very eclectic, and I love the way she combines colours and MAKES them flamboyant.

The thing about Paris, it's a great city for wandering AROUND and BUYING shoes and nursing a cafe au lait for hours on end and pretending you're Baudelaire. But it's not a city where you can work.
