No. I really don't think I'm cool. I'm not.

I'm just terrible. At talking. With words.

Why have a pet hate? Why should it be confined? My hate is both wide ranging and total.

I'm not a terribly social person, and so I have to really like people to work with them.

I think people have the capacity to be many different things and many seemingly contradictory behaviors.

To be in a video is a ridiculous thing. It's almost impossible to do it without any humour

As in, I think 'Badlands' is one of the funniest films of all time: "Every day I wish I was carried off to a magical land, but that never happened" is one of the funniest lines in any film.

I only ever privately tell people stuff for the scene. And I often ask what they feel is right. Normally, by the time that we're filming, if it doesn't work, it always the script.

I've always felt that actors in my experience have a very good and accurate instinct about whether something feels right or not. They just have a sense because they have to literally do it.

I'm pretty bad at seeing new films.

The most interesting part of filming is what the actors do. That's the primary link between the story and the audience.

That man has some seriously oversized ovaries. Can you say PMS? He barked at anyone and everyone before shoving his way outside.

We must conduct research and then accept the results. If they don't stand up to experimentation, Buddha's own words must be rejected.

Human beings can reach such desperate solitude that they may cross a boundary beyond which words cannot serve, and at such moments there is nothing left for them but to bark.

I think that hate is a feeling that can only exist where there is no understanding.

What man wants does not matter.

When I remember my mother, it makes me really sad. But, when I remember my father, it makes me smile.

the detective's highest talent lay in the gentle art of seeking favours under the guise of conferring them!

I was doing stand-up at a restaurant and there was a chalkboard on the street out front. It said, Soup of the Day: Cream of Asparagus. Ellen DeGeneres.

I believe nicotine plus caffeine equals protein.
