I'm an actor, that's my contribution.

The best thing I have is the knife from Fatal Attraction. I hung it in my kitchen. It's my way of saying, Don't mess with me.

It always amazes me to think that every house on every street is full of so many stories; so many triumphs and tragedies, and all we see are yards and driveways.

I'd rather fight a buzzsaw than dance.

You should have fallen in love with a happy man, if you wanted happiness. But no, you had to fall for the breathtaking beauty of pain.

I am concerned that a film without an large advertising [budget] can not establish a connection with contemporary audiences, of course.

So many things can get you high, I'm gonna try them all just once before I die.
