Through all permutations and youthful poetry, I came to believe that the film actor was the great "literateur" of his time.

I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.

I guess this proves there are as many nuts in the Academy as anywhere else.

I don't have any plugs or tucks but people do what they want. I look at it as mutilation.

In this industry, there are only two ways up the ladder. Rung by rung or claw your way to the top. It's sure been tough on my nails.

I've been too many places. I'm like the bad penny.

OK, the director makes the movie. But some movies can't get made without someone like me in them.
