These days and times you can't do eclectic records. In the '60s you could, but not anymore.

After you've done 60-something movies, you're always looking for something different.

I've been married five times, and people think that's some bizarre thing, yet I've got buddies who refuse to get married and have sex with 15 people a week. I'm like "Which is better?" At least I was trying.

I can't sit through plays and musical theatre. I just want to run up onstage and mess up their hair and turn over the furniture.

I'm not really a guy who wants to be a director, anyway.

Playing normal-looking characters really intimidatesme. I got into acting to play anyone but me.

I'm really influenced by Southern novelists, not many movie people. More like John Faulkner, William Faulkner, Erskine Caldwell, Flannery O'Connor, John Steinbeck, and people like that.
