I won't mention names, but in my career, the most talented people invariably are the easiest and nicest to get along with.

One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding?

Someone's always saying, "It's not whether you win or lose," but if you feel that way, you're as good as dead.

You're the only one who's closing your eyes at night. There's no one else who can do it for you.

My least favorite phrase in the English language is 'I don't care.'

My kid was a great baseball player. I thought I had it made. Front-row seats at Yankee Stadium. Then he turned sixteen and wanted to be a rapper.

I've never been difficult to anybody or with anybody on a picture. Especially when you're in that nice status of hierarchy of actors and actresses who get to approve directors. Because once you make that choice, it's my belief that the director's boss.
