I generally do things I'm proud to be in and generally I'm in things people like.

I guess part of the hit-man appeal is the solitude. Everybody is lured to the idea of the solitary life.

I really have no interest in delivering the iambic pentameter, I just want to kill myself. I don't mind other people doing it. I say that, but really I don't want to watch other people doing it. I get embarrassed.

I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I'd meet beautiful women in the rain.

When you've been going on about something for a while, it is always satisfying to discover that other people agree with you.

You have all these plans to act, and maybe do it rather elegantly, and then they turn the rain machine on.

I did actually sit down with a blank sheet of paper once. I think the phone rang and that was the end of my literary career.
