As time goes by and you're getting older and stuff like that - getting older sucks. You know, I hear all this crap about, 'Oh, you can age with dignity.' Really?

I grew up in a gym in Miami, the one where Muhammad Ali trained. I had 142 amateur fights and lost three.

I don't mind getting punched in the nose by a guy standing in front of me. It's getting stabbed in the back that I can't handle.

Comeback is a good word, man.

I'm an old broken down piece of meat and I deserve to be all alone . . .

People are always afraid of the truth.

Hey, baby, nobody suffers like the poor.

A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.

All that prosthetic makeup drains you. By the time it's lunch, you're done.

Surrender to your fear so you may triumph over it.Choose me, open you soul to me, and embrace the Devouring.

You are valuable

Why then the world's mine oyster Which I with sword will open.

Yesterday's truth is today's bullshit. Even yesterday's liberating insight is today's jail of stale explanation.

The love of complexity without reductionism makes art; the love of complexity with reductionism makes science.

I love to go back and write and direct another film one day, but that's on the backburner for now because I'm involved with so much television at the moment.

The company accountant is shy and retiring. He's shy a quarter of a million dollars. That's why he's retiring.

A goal without an action plan is a daydream.

This watchfulness, this witnessing is the ultimate secret of creating a religious life, of creating a life of transcendence, a life of spirituality, of enlightenment, of buddhahood.
