Acting is the easiest money you'll ever make in your life, and directing is probably the hardest money.

First of all, you look at Rocky films now, and if that isn't a cartoon series there isn't any cartoon series. I mean there's no way anybody is going to take that amount of punishment in fifteen rounds.

And like everybody else, I like the Rocky movies, but if you look at them again you can see all the misses, but the intensity of it, but that wasn't what this is.

Because I killed a guy in real life, and because my character kills a guy onstage, they said I could never do anything this great again. I resented that.

I didn't go to film school, I went to acting school.

I don't even know if I can call myself a director.

This directing thing just sort of fell my way and landed in my lap.
