I hate plastic surgery. I have a horror of any kind of knife. I don't like it.

When I was very young I wanted to be a professional horseback rider. Then I wanted to be a pop singer. Then I wanted to be a psychiatrist. Then I wanted to be a movie director.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

It's a very difficult thing for people to accept, seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.

I was just glad to be going to work again.

I just want to tell stories that have an impact on people. Somebody needs to have an impact because people are lost. People are really lost.

I've made some great movies. 'Risky Business' still stands up. It's timeless. They study that film in film school.

I have this very strange sensitive skin. If I put anything on it but this one product, it erupts into a rash.

I grew up in Europe, and I used to like those very slow-moving European films. I've been contaminated by the American TV culture, and I just want things to move faster now.

Everything I thought about acting and having a movie career has changed from what I thought when I started.

I've never had a manager, and I've had various agents, and, fortunately or unfortunately, I've been blessed.

With the selfies, a photographer has finally found his place in a photograph.

By day I am nothing, by night I am I.

Hats have been my thing pretty much my whole life but finance has not. I would go to the corner store and buy really cheap baseball style caps and wear those to school.

Nothing wrong with shooting...as long as the right people get shot.

I was such a screwup when I got to the big leagues. I was a total idiot.

Only when one has lost all curiosity about the future has one reached the age to write an autobiography.

Even women are perfect at the outset.

The word "Capitalism" expresses, for our age, the sum of all evil. Even the opponents of Socialism are dominated by socialist ideas.

You must never aspire to 'finish' a house, you can merely hope to start it, and from then on it's an evolutionary process.

Take not from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.
