Hollywood is the dream factory, and no one dreams about older women.

Babies don't need fathers, but mothers do. Someone who is taking care of a baby needs to be taken care of.

Bitterness is so ugly.

I don't know what goes on behind my back... I always feel like, if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything.

I love movies to death. I spent my entire youth in front of a TV watching old movies.

A lot of my movies were completely destroyed by the censors, who can be pretty arbitrary. They're not completely fair with how they treat one person vs. another.

I'm a musician and I'm really blessed, because in my life if I can hold the sticks, I can play.

I'll think, If this is his first punch, how are the others gonna feel? That's the only fear I have for myself

Well, I love Bob Dylan, let's make that clear. He's one of my musical heroes.
