These kids only want to talk about acting method and motivation. in my day all we talked about was screwing and overtime.

Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it.

There just isn't any pleasing some people. The trick is to stop trying.

People think I have an interesting walk. Hell, I'm just trying to hold my gut in.
