I've made over 250 pictures and have never shot a guy in the back. Change it.

Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid.

Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be.

The reason there are so many stupid people is because it's illegal to kill them.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

TRUE Courage is when you are scared to death and STILL saddle up and ride in!

All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be some place else.

I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.

Very few of the so-called liberals are open-minded.... They shout you down and won't let you speak if you disagree with them.

The abstract artist has given material existence to many unseen worlds and tempi.

And to be honest, most actors are incredibly solipsistic.

Wanna lose 1200 Calories a month? Drink a liter of ice water a day. You burn the energy just raising the water to body temp.

As an artist your trajectory just has to keep going up. the thing that subverts your next body of work is the work you've taken before.

One famous movie executive who shall remain nameless, exposed himself to me in his office. 'Mr X,' I said, 'I thought you were a producer not an exhibitor'.
