In Hollywood people lie to each other and cheat each other and then go and play tennis. But I don't want to be a tennis player.

I just needed a job. Before being hired as an usher at the CBS Theater, I didn't even know there was a show business.

It's very easy for me to thank everyone for the incredible contribution they've made to my life.

I’ve always thought that each person invented himself… that we are each a figment of our own imagination. And some people have a greater ability to imagine than others.

Most of the artists were trying to make a living, trying to get laid, trying to figure out who they were. They weren't trying to change the world. That's what other people put on them. I knew all those people. I knew them all, intimately and well. Bob Dylan. I would say that Bob Dylan is as interested in money as any person I've known in my life. That's just the truth.

Your life isn't made up of people who aren't in it.

Everybody in politics lies.
