I changed my diet completely. You know, I'm from Cleveland, so I've always loved sausage and red meat and all of that stuff, so now I find myself not eating any of that, no red meat, no sausage. It's basically a vegetarian diet with a little bit of fish. I drink quarts of carrot juice, quarts of cranberry juice, endless amounts of water and nothing else.

I was six when we came to this country. When I was 14 or so, I still had a lot of trouble with it.

My father could have been deported because on his immigration application he said that he was a printer, obviously because he didn't want them to be checking his writings.

I always wanted to be a rock'n'roll star.

There are no crowds out there demanding to see smoking scenes in movies.

A cigarette in the hands of a Hollywood star onscreen is a gun aimed at a 12- or 14-year-old.

You must show how gruesome that death is because if you don't, then you turn into some kind of comic book and pain, then death, doesn't have a consequence, and pain doesn't have a consequence.
