| "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." "Love? Love? Above all things, I believe in love. Love is like oxygen. Love is a many-splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love." "Then I'll write a song and we'll put it in the show and whenever you sing it or hear it. Or whistle or hum it then you'll know. It'll mean that we love one another." "It's just that it's quite long, and I want you to be comfortable. It's quite modern what I do." "Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love." Satine: I can't believe it. I'm in love with a talented, rich, handsome duke. Christian: Duke? Satine: Not that the title's important, of course! Christian: I'm not a duke. Satine: Not a duke? Christian: I'm a writer. Satine: A writer?! "My gift is my song." Duke: Why can't the courtesan marry the maharaja?! Christian: Because she doesn't love you! Satine: [seducing Christian] Would you like a little champagne? Christian: I'd really rather just get on with it. "I had come to write about freedom, truth, beauty and above all things, love. There was only one problem. I had never been in love." "How wonderful life was now Satine was in the world." "How could I have known that in those last fatal days, a force darker than jealousy and stronger than love had begun to take hold of Satine?" "And then on one not so special day I sat at my typewriter and wrote her story. A story about a time, a story about a place. A story about the people but most of all, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The end." "Tell me you don't love me!" |

| "Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you got heroin" |
| "I fight cynicism. It's too easy. It's really boring. It's much harder to be positive and see the wonder of everything. Cynicism is a bunch of people who aren't as talented as other people, knocking them because they make them feel even more untalented." "I think making films is brilliant. Going on location is amazing, hanging about with all these film people doing their thing." "It's like asking do you think of yourself as a sexy person. There is no answer to these questions. I don't waste my time imagining myself as these things. They are things people can think of you as." "People are incredibly rude about it sometimes. Like, 'What? You're married?' Strange reaction to have. Proves what people's ideas about marriage are. 'We're having a baby.' 'What?' As if it's the end of the world. Of course, it's the start of a brilliant world." "I'm naked a lot of the time, and they don't try to frame potted plants in front of me like they do in most other films. It's all part of the story...I've been naked in almost everything I've been in, really. {laughing} I have it written into my contract." "I'm so driven, working madly, and almost arrogantly ambitious. But I've never known towards where or what." "I just hope I won't do just any film to become a star. I just want to carry on working, acting." |
