I've always been successful. Now I'm famous and successful.

My father always said, 'The saddest thing in life is wasted talent.'

I never worried about becoming typecast. People have said that to me, but I never worried about it. As long as the part is three dimensional, I'm okay with it, whether the role is to play the heavy, the cop.

Mental violence is as bad as physical violence. You don't see that very often in movies, so it was a good subject to tackle.

I had a 90-minute one-man show. I performed it and my life just exploded. Everything - my life just changed. Every writer, director, producer, studio head, movie star - they all wanted it. It was the hottest property since 'Rocky.'

The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices you make will shape your life forever.

The way I pick movies is, first, if the script is any good. Then, if the script is good, who else is in it, the director, the producer, all that. If you have all that, there's a chance the movie will be great. If the script isn't right, or the director or cast isn't right, you've got no shot in hell.
