Seventy-five years. That's how much time you get if you're lucky. Seventy-five years. Seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. When you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? Don't waste them. Get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.

You know you can't just run and shoot people in the knee-caps with double barreled shotgun 'cause you're pissed at them.

I haven't read a newspaper in 20 years. I don't look at the computer or anything. You have to have a filter on what you let in.

Whenever I am on camera or doing anything on mic, I don't have any process at all. I just do it and, when I'm finished, it goes away. There is no process. I wish there were some techniques to it. I just turn it on and off, and then I go home.

I keep telling people I'll make movies until I'm fifty and then I'll go and do something else. I'm going to be a professional gentleman of leisure.

I only want to do what I really want to do; otherwise, I'm content to sit here and play my guitar all day.

I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.
