The most difficult thing about being well known? Getting out of a hotel room at 4am.

I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.

I would never say, "I'm retired." I believe if I decided to just not work, in six months everybody would just forget whether you were working or not.

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

Freedom in every sense but primarily political sense, a rise in repression that stems from a repression of sexuality. It's AIDS, it's herpes, it's this, it's that. Ask any saloon owner what's happened to social life in America in the past 12 years and they'll tell you it's a different world and these people are strongly misinformed by the media, peer pressure.

Because you know, down deep in my heart, when all is said and done, I still live under the illusion that basically people think of me as an up-and-coming young actor.

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