For a man, once you've sired your pups, you're done.

The more time you have to think things through, the more you have to screw it up.

You have to go with your instincts. I remember when I was about to make "Fistful of Dollars" a big article came out that said, "Italian Westerns are finished." I said, "Swell." Then, of course, the film came out, and it did something. I'm so glad for the dozens of times I haven't listened along the way.

When I look back on my life, I don't have regrets about what I didn't do. If I'd become a musician, it could have ruined my life.

I had three points I wanted to make. That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who's not doing a good job. But I didn't make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.

Kids piercing themselves, piercing their tongues, what kind of masochism is that? Is it to show you can just take it?

Even people on the liberal side are starting to worry about going off a fiscal cliff.
