A kid once said to me "Do you get hangovers?" I said, "To get hangovers you have to stop drinking.

I don't do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It's too late for regrets. You've already done it, haven't you? You've lived your life. No point wishing you could change it.

If you think you are too old to rock 'n roll, then you are.

All you got in life is your honor, man, your own self-image, your own self-respect. If you lose that, or if you give it away or if you sell it, then you ain't got it no more.

That was a great time, the summer of '71 - I can't remember it, but I'll never forget it!

Born to lose. Live to win.

Don't look to me. Don't ask for help. Don't ask for anything that you can do yourself

My entire social life is spent in bars, so I don't see giving up drinking as a viable option. Could you see me saying, 'Tomato juice please?'

It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.

Inherited hatred (i.e. hatred your parents schooled you in) is not only stupid, it is destructive - why make your only driving force hate? Seems really f***ing dumb to me.

People don't want to see the guy next door on the stage, they want to see a being from another planet. You want to see somebody you'd never meet in ordinary life.

Learning is more than the acquisition of the ability to think

Always have your players go and pick-up the guy who draws the charge.

It's so easy to focus on what could go wrong, on what else you could do before you try the thing you really want to do. No. Just get out there and try.

Then there are most of my students who don't know a whole lot about love. You don't know what fun love is. I will remain inaccessible to you until you learn how to love.

Thorough selfishness destroys or paralyzes enjoyment. A heart made selfish by the contest for wealth is like a citadel stormed in war, utterly shattered.

Part of the way that I work is to observe.

I do not wish any reward but to know I have done the right thing.

I will not be governed by the tyranny of immediacy.

Acting I'll do forever, but I want to produce and stuff as well.

We love even when our love is not requited.
