I figured I would have to tell someone to kiss my ass before it was all over, and I have -- twice.

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.

If something really strikes a chord with an audience, if it pops on TV, I don't mind watching it for a few minutes.

The great movies that I want to do now are being made for $2.5-million budgets.

I always wanted to play a lawyer.

I quit flying years ago. I don't want to die with tourists.

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.
