I couldn't say no to jobs and I couldn't say no to drugs. I'd get high from a movie, I'd be somebody else because I didn't particularly like me, so long as I had a script in my hand, I was okay. As soon as the movie was over, I didn't know what to do.

I play out negative fantasies for people. I'm the guy people love to hate. And they always remember the bad guy.

In the '70s, everybody was doing drugs, so long as you showed up and did your work, they'd use you until you died.

I was a different kind of kid, oversensitive and all that.

I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that.

My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night.

Since very early in my career, I have always did my own stunt fighting.
