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.

You can't say, "I'm gonna make a hit movie." You're as dead as you could be.

I don't play golf competitively. I tell everybody that I cheat so they won't gamble with me. That's why you can't watch football. Everybody's gambling. They don't want to watch the game; they watch the spread.

In other words, I wouldn't like to be an actor if I could only be real. I like to get wild, behaviorally wild, and it's crazy to think of any form where it's just one way.

Decent people shouldn't live here. They'd be happier some place else.

I just know that sameness, repetition, and conceptualizing are the acting craft's adversaries, and it seems more intelligent to start off within a framework where those things are, to some degree, taken out of your hands.

There's no point dwelling on what might or could have been. You just have to go forward.
