I'm a pretty private person, so I'd like to say I'm a good ear and that I keep my mouth shut.

I've never been someone to count lines, look at it that way.

I got beat up by the comic-book kids when I was younger! They were cooler than me. Talk about levels of geekdom, I was a couple rungs below the kids who read comic books. Yeah. Not so cool, man.

I always like playing the bad guys. They have more fun!

I think pressure when you work is good. It forces you to take risks and to do other things.

I went through about 40 different hats until we found one that fit. It had to fit me and fit the character, more importantly, and whatever that thing was that we were trying to create with him.

Not every conspiracy is a theory.

I've done a number of films that no one has ever seen, and that's probably a good thing.

I like pressure. Pressure is good.

I was really lucky that, through my 20s, I got to work with some amazing people, and I tried to sit back and watch and learn.

Kids will tease you for just about anything.

who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet..

It was a nasty look. It made me feel as if I were something the dog had brought in and intended to bury later on, when he had time.

I regard it as a waste of time to think only of selling: one forgets one's art and exaggerates one's value.

How can you go out on a limb if you do not know your own tree? No art ever came out of not risking your neck. And risk--experiment--is a considerable part of the joy of doing.

I'm the strongest bodybuilding who ever lived, I think.

I think still it is very fine not to want children. There are far too many people in the world. It is my contribution to ecology.

Focus on someone else’s problems for a change, I instructed myself. You need the practice. From now on you’ll have to live in a world you didn’t make up. Horrible thought.

When humanity serves Nature, Nature serves humanity. When we serve animals and plants, they too serve us in return.

The saint, we are told, once lived a life of sin - nothing spectacular, of course, just the usual things.

I felt no passion, no jealousy, no nostalgia. I was hollow, clear-headed, clean, and as emotionless as an aluminum pot.
