I came here in 1974 to do a play, and then I went to L.A. I really like living in America. I feel more at home here than anywhere else.

My father was grounded, a very meat-and-potatoes man. He was a baker.

Oliver Stone is a great director and I've seen many films over the years, but I try to create stuff out of my own imagination. I want to break all the rules and mess about with it and make a different movie just for the fun of it.

I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.

I've got a great sense of humor.

Beware the tyranny of the weak. They just suck you dry.

No expectations. Ask nothing, expect nothing and accept everything, and life is very well.
