I used to be very quick, I would be able to leave the room and be back before you noticed. When you can't do that anymore you need to change the style of how you do things. But I'm very interested in life and you don't want to lose that.

Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.

I'll tell you one thing: Don't ever give anybody your best advice, because they're not going to follow it.

You have to do every movie one at a time. Trilogy is contrary to this ideology. My nightmare is to wake up and find myself the host of a TV series.

I'm the age where we didn't have television as kids. So when I saw my nieces and nephews watching Howdy Doody, Kukla, Fran and Ollie, and so forth, I thought the world had gone mad.

No issue is more compelling than the air we breathe, be it hot or cold, be it hawk or human.

I've always had lots of friends who share my perspective - I guess you could say that I'm a guy who aggressively pursues his happiness.
