If you love with violence and you hate with violence there is nothing that can be questioned.

Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn't make you want to jump into that business.

I'm still alive, which is pretty cool.

People can't figure me out; they can't process me. I don't expect them to. You can't process me with a normal brain.

I kind of like that romantic image of being in a rocker with my family gathered around, all these generations in one room, listening intently to my stories.

It's not about the big deal you struck that day, it's not about the new car, it's not about the obvious stuff. It's about that little introspective moment you had in the middle of all that. Those are moments between the moments, and that's where life is.

It ain't a party til something gets broken.
