My spirit had been broken a bit over the years by my having to work on films I didn't love. Hollywood's a surreal place, and it really is an assault on your spirit.

I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine.

There's a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I know what they're wearing. I'm not gonna act all ashamed of it.

I'm not this dark, twisted person. Yes, I have my demons and this is my way of exorcising them. It gets them out - and better out than in.

You have to make peace with yourself. The key is to find the harmony in what you have.

Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering.

There's a set of rules out there somewhere that says it all ends by 40. I hope to be able to defy that because I truly love my work.

I'm not happy unless I've got a little bit of fear going.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

Hit me with spit on the wounds.

A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him.

The American people don't read.

I hang onto my prejudices, they are the testicles of my mind.

The only thing I'm running for is the state line.

The years like great black oxen tread the world, and God, the herdsman goads them on behind, and I am broken by their passing feet.
