I Probably Did A Dozen Plays, Like

I Wanted To Change My Name To Romeo Florentino. Romeo Florentino - That's A Good Fighter's Name.

Julian Schnabel Painted A Picture That He Dedicated To My Character In Rumble Fish. It Was Called The Motorcycle Boy. I Remember When He Brought It Over To Me At The Mayflower Hotel [in New York] Years Ago. This Is When You And I Knew Each Other.

I Still Work Out Most Days. When I Do It, I Go Full Blast Five Or Six Days A Week, Two To Three Hours A Day. I Enjoy It. It's Therapeutic For Me.

I Had Achieved So Much Success In My Career And Then Had This Spectacular Fall From Grace That Left Me Unemployed And Living In A Town, Los Angeles, That Is Built On Envy. Once You Fall, People Don't Really Root For You To Come Back Again. I'd Go To Restaurants Where I Always Had The Best Table And Half The Time They Wouldn't Even Let Me Pay. And Then When I Stopped Making Movies, The Same Places Wouldn't Even Give Me A Lousy Table, Never Mind The Best One!

People Ask Me About That All The Time. They Say, "did You Ever Think Of Directing?" And I Say, "it's Completely Out Of The Question."
