Being born with a pair of beady eyes was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I'll never kick dogs, I'll never hurt a child, I'll never slap a woman - three things I won't do on film.

Bad guys have always been my bag... I look mean without even trying.

A lot of actors think that the more lines they have the more attention they get. That's bullshit. I make people look at me. I don't have to say a lot of words.

One day, something happened. It made life very precious to me.

Audiences just naturally hate me on screen. I could play a role in a tuxedo and people would think I was rotten. You can do much more with a villain part.

I don't care where I work. Films are an international business - not an American institution.

I tried to learn the languages - Italian, Spanish, and German - not to successfully. Working on a European set isn't a hell of a lot different from working on an American set.

I'd like to do more comedy, but i think my forte is still in the heavy. I'd love to do a comic lead, a musical.

If I could direct it [films] I would be very happy. But the economics of business don't always allow you to do what you want.

Some people may like you, and some people may not, keep living your life dreams, you will succeed!

Power is the ability to do good things for others.

In America we have only the present tense. I am in danger. You are in danger.

Some people would rather change and some people don't. Some people don't want to be forced to stay in a certain atmosphere.

A good movie is three good scenes and no bad scenes.

As for pictures and museums, that don't trouble me. The worst of going abroad is that you've always got to look at things of that sort. To have to do it at home would be beyond a joke.

There's so much to be said for making your guitar sound like a synthesizer and try to make your drummer sound like a drum machine.

I get half a million just to show up at parties. My life is, like, really, really fun.

Hidden behind your fears and your failures is the success you seek.

One day I would love to do rock a gig on the moon - how rad would that be? Isn't Richard Branson flying planes to outer space? Mötley Crüe could be the first band to play on the moon.
