I have no lucky charm. I am 100 percent superstition-free, and I take nothing for granted.

Everybody loses a couple, and you either pack it up and go home or you keep on fighting.

Live like you're already dead, man. Have a good time. Do your best. Let it all come ripping right through you.

I confessed to Mike [Cimino] a couple of days before we shot. I was like, "What am I doing here, Mike?" And Mike just looked at me, in that very directorial manor, took a long pause, and he said, "You know the game tag?" And I said, "Yeah." And he said, "Well, you're it." That was some of the best direction I think I've ever received.

My brother's my teacher, my mentor, and we both learnt all the acting basics from our father.

I wish I were more disciplined.

If some crazy idea stays in my head for long enough, then there's no fighting it. I just say, Okay, let's go.
