“I don't think I was constructed to be monogamous. I don't think it's the nature of any man to be monogamous.

“When I lie on the beach there naked, which I do sometimes, and I feel the wind coming over me and I see the stars up above and I am looking into this very deep, indescribable night, it is something that escapes my vocabulary to describe. Then I think: 'God, I have no importance.
