I want it all quickly 'cause I don't want God to stop and think and wonder if I'm getting more than my share.

If you can't laugh at yourself, you're cooked!

I had a hollow leg. I could drink everyone under the table and not get drunk. My capacity was terrifying.

I used to think that drinking would help my shyness, but all it did was exaggerate all the negative qualities.

Everything makes me nervous - except making films.

A strong film director does leave you to your devices. A strong director allows you to be free and you trust that he's there and he will tell you if you've gone too far. A strong director allows you to be much more experimental and take greater chances than a director who isn't secure within himself.

All I see in the mirror every morning is a face that needs washing.
