God Is A Luxury I Can't Afford.

It's Better To Live As Your Own Man, Than As A Fool In Someone Else's Dream.

My Mantra Is "stay Perpendicular." Horizontal Is Not As Good. Half The People That Came Along And Up With With Me Are Either Gone To Another Dimension Or Don't Remember What They Had For Lunch. I'm Fortunate. I Don't Know Why. I Just Want To Have A Good Time.

If It Bothers Me On The Page, I Don't Do It. If It Attracts Me On The Page And Moves Me, Makes Me Think A Bit, Makes Me Laugh, Makes Me Cry, I'm Interested In It. If It's There On The Page, It Means It's There And Up To Me To Bring It Out. I Have Done Some Films Along The Way That Have Been Screwed Up And Not As Good As They Read. Some Films That Are Not That Good On The Page Turn Into Good Movies. So I'm Fallible Is What I'm Saying.

The Talented Actor Needs Craft. When You Do A Stage Play, You Do It Once Each Night In Chronological Order. In A Film You're Going To Wind Up Doing A Scene 15-20 Times, Just By The Nature Of The Process. If I Tell You A Joke Once, It's Funny. The More Times I Tell, The Less Funny It Is. How Do You Get To The Point Where You Can Laugh Again? You Also May Have To Cry Again And Again.
