You have to kill to survive. People have been doing it forever. I eat meat, and I eat fish. If I were on a deserted island I would need that to survive.

I trained as a theatre actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by.

I won and I get to scream and jump a little. But I got to go back to work tomorrow.

I don't see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.

I've always played the guy with the gun and the knife. That's how many actors start out, playing the bad guy.

Before I was even in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes. Rumor was that I was a junkie. I have dark circles under my eyes, deal with it.

Through every rift of discovery some seeming anomaly drops out of the darkness, and falls, as a golden link into the great chain of order.

One [New York] eatery is a remodeled diner that looks like what Busby Berkeley would have done if only he hadn't had the money.

Nobody tells people who are beginners - and I really wish somebody had told this to me - that all of us who do creative work... get into it because we have good taste.

How shall we ever know if it's morning if there's no servant to pull up the blinds?

As you keep getting more popular, people are continually wanting more from you and it seems to me that all they want in the end is your death.

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here, 'Cause I remember it all, all, all... too well...
